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:

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!
