Eureka!
Guys…… ? I bought together 5 simple ingredients and microwaved them for less than 5 minutes to make a luscious Caramel Sauce!
Awesome discovery, right? I have made Caramel sauce the traditional way as well. But take it from someone who has burnt herself one too many times, this microwave method is much safer, easier and quicker!
Butter, Brown Sugar, Condensed Milk, Fresh Cream, Salt.
That’s all you need. These are usually ingredients you’ll have on hand, especially during the Holidays. And even if you don’t, these are easily available at every supermarket.
Since this microwave caramel sauce recipe requires minimal supervision, you can just as easily have multiple things going on at the same time – unlike the traditional method of making Caramel Sauce. You don’t need any special skill to make this caramel sauce, so stop making excuses! 🙂

This would be delicious as a filling on my cake crumb tart shells!
Tip: Preferably get powdered brown sugar. But if you do have big granules of brown sugar, it’s okay. You just have to stir furiously until it is dissolved into the mixture. I use the Nutella Jar to store my Caramel Sauce! 🙂
