Notes
Sofia’s Tips:
- This caramel will continue to thicken as it cools!
- It can be used while warm or out of the fridge
- To regain a pourable caramel consistency out of the fridge, simply place caramel sauce in a heat-proof container and microwave/heat for a few seconds at a time until desired consistency is achieved
- Enjoy over your favourite desserts!
