Ingredients

Scale

For the Toffee Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses

For the Sauce

To Finish

Instructions

  1. Combine the butter, brown sugar and molasses in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat and stir for 3 to 4 minutes until melted and smooth.
  2. Slowly whisk in the cream, standing back as it bubbles, until smooth.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until it coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve warm, loosening with extra cream if needed.
