Rich and thick caramel sauce

This thick caramel sauce is so much better for the addition of condensed milk. It is perfect for tart fillings or as a dessert topper. If you are looking to thin out the sauce slightly, add an extra tablespoon of water or milk before the sauce has completely cooled.

This is the perfect sweet partner to foods such as ice cream, waffles, pancakes or puddings!
