Our Thermomix Salted Caramel Sauce is the ultimate accompaniment to your favourite desserts!
If you're anything like me, you are just a 'little bit' obsessed with salted caramel sauce. Ok that may be the understatement of the year, but you know what I mean! When it comes to salted caramel sauce, I am all in. I love it on its own, drizzled over desserts, on top of ice-cream, in apple pie... you get the drift.
For years I've been making salted caramel sauce on the stovetop, but I decided that it was finally time to start making it in the Thermomix... and boy am I glad I did! It is SO easy. You don't need to worry about a sugar thermometer or stressing out that it might burn. You just pop all of the ingredients in, set it and go. Easy peasy. And don't worry if your sauce is quite runny when it finishes cooking - it will thicken up as it sets.
Why you will love this recipe:
5 Ingredients - you don't need any special ingredients to make this Caramel Sauce
Versatile - enjoy our Caramel Sauce over the top of ice-cream, puddings or on it's own, we won't judge!
Quick to prepare - you can be enjoying this Caramel Sauce in a just over 10 minutes.
The only problem with this Thermomix salted caramel sauce is that it's far too easy - which probably means that you're going to see me hovering over my Thermie at 10pm, licking salted caramel sauce straight from the bowl!

I recently acquired my hand-me-down Thermomix from my daughter when she bought a new one. I may regret her showing me this recipe. This is Heaven on earth!

Yay! That's so great!!
Hot Caramel Addict says
Has anyone tried using this to make hot caramel drink (like at Cowch)? If so, what ratio of sauce:milk did you use?
Thanks
Serene says
So delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I use it for my salted caramel drip cakes 🙂
kate Gillespie says
Hi, I wonder if there is something you can put in this to give a longer shelf life. I am wanting to make it to sell at our School Fair, but will need it to last longer than 2 weeks. Do you have a recipe where this could work?
Thanks
Kate
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Kate, I haven't tried adding anything to this recipe before I'm afraid. If you heat sealed it in a jar/bottle that should help prolong it's shelf life
Anna says
I want to make a caramel “ganache” or cake filling (that’s not icing). Could this be mixed with whipped cream please? Or any suggestions? Many thanks!
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Anna, hmm I haven't made this with whipped cream before - sorry!!!!
Carol Thomas says
Hi,I have made several batches replacing ingredients with soya margarine and sweetened soya milk and it works lovely.It may not be as rich and creamy but it's dairy free and tastes good.
Sam says
Hi I would like to make this for our wedding favours. How long will it keep out of the fridge? Then how long once opened? I just want to add it to my little labels for the guests. 🙂
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Sam, we recommend that this is kept in the fridge and that it will last for 2 weeks. xx
stack says
how many batches should i make if making for 30-40 people?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi there - it really depends on what you're using it for? Are you using it as a sauce for a dessert or are you making little bottles for everyone? This recipe will make approximately 1 cup of sauce if that helps!
Jen says
What quantity does this amount make in ml?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Jen, just under a cup 🙂
Mary says
Do you have to refrigerate it straight away or can it be kept in the jars at room temp over night? I want to use it to drizzle over a cane. Thsnjs!
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Mary, as long as you sterilise and seal it properly, you can leave it at room temp overnight. xx
Nora says
