Two Ingredient Caramel Sauce

By Meaghan SmithApril 1, 2022

Two Ingredient Caramel Sauce! Literally THE BEST and easiest caramel you could ever make. It blows the store bought stuff out of the water and is so decadent, you’ll want to drizzle it on everything!

I won’t blame you if you want to eat this caramel sauce straight from the jar or drizzle it on everything in sight! Been there, stilling doing that! 🙂 It’s seriously the best caramel sauce you will ever taste and SO EASY to make. It doesn’t cost a lot, way cheaper than pre-made caramel sauce, and with flavors that are developed to perfection. This caramel sauce uses the dry cooking method, aka you don’t add any water or liquids to the sugar while it’s melting. You melt and brown the sugar in the pan on its own, to create this depth of flavor that is so insane and turns a non caramel liker into a caramel lover! Don’t believe me? I know it’s hard to when there’s only two ingredients involved and it takes less than 20 minutes to make, but trust me…give this sauce a try.

Two Ingredient Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 scant cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. add sugar to a saucepan and cook on medium heat, once you see the sugar is beginning to melt, stir constantly until sugar liquid is golden brown and completely melted through (no sugar crystals), remove from heat

2. add heavy whipping cream one tbsp at a time, stir until completely incorporated into the sauce before adding next tbsp. Continue until all heavy whipping cream is added and incorporated into the sauce. PLEASE be extremely careful during this step as the hot sugar liquid will boil up and you do not want to get any on you

3. once all heavy whipping cream is added, place saucepan back on the burner and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 more seconds. Remove from heat and strain. Let cool and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in a air tight container

📌 SAVE for an easy no bake dessert
💬 Comment RECIPE & I’ll send you a DM

INGREDIENTS:
STRAWBERRY LAYER
2 lbs fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon juiced
2 tsp vanilla extract

MASCARPONE CREAM
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
16 oz mascarpone cheese softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

TO ASSEMBLE
14 oz ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves (optional but delicious)
Extra strawberries for topping

Prep the Strawberries:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15-30 minutes until juicy.

Make the Mascarpone Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth, then fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until light and fluffy.�
Assemble the Layers:
Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry syrup (just a quick dunk, don’t soak!)��Arrange a full layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. You may need to cut some of the ladyfingers to fit.��Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.��Spoon strawberry jam swirls over the cream (optional but adds amazing flavor), then layer on the macerated strawberries, saving a few spoonfuls to serve on the side.��Repeat the layers: dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone cream, and more strawberry jam swirls for decoration on top.

Chill at least 6 hours before serving, overnight is even better! Garnish with extra sliced strawberries when ready to serve.

Life lately…🤍 The past couple weeks have been ful Life lately…🤍

The past couple weeks have been full in the best way. Between kids’ sports, family time, and having my Grandma here (she’s 88 and visiting from New Jersey), I just wanted to slow down and really be present for it all.

A lot of real life, a lot of good food, and a lot of moments I didn’t want to rush through.

I’ve missed being on here and sharing with you. Easing back in this week and excited to share more 🫶🏼

PS: LAST SLIDE IS my Great Grandma’s plum cake recipe!!

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 lb thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups cheddar or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded

DRESSING
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 
Add chopped romaine lettuce to the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl.

Layer red onion, red bell pepper, and peas around the edges so they are visible from the outside.

Press sliced eggs against the glass for a layered look. Chop the remaining eggs and add them to the center to fill it in evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon the dressing into the center, then gently spread it outward to seal the top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dressing, then top with chopped bacon.

Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need to save this for next year 🐰✝️ Or honestly, just make it all spring long 🌸

My dad (who doesn’t bake at all) made this cake when I was little, and it’s one of my fav core Easter memories 🤍 It’s so cute, fun to get kids involved with, and instantly makes everything feel a little more fun and special!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake your favorite cake in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze for easier cutting.

Keep one cake whole for the face. Cut the second cake to create the ears and bow tie, then arrange everything on a platter.

Frost with white icing and cover with shredded coconut (leave a little space in the ears for pink frosting). 

Decorate with gumdrops, jelly beans, fruit punch straws, or whatever candy you have on hand!

SAVE this for spring or next Easter 🐰
