How to make Homemade Caramel Sauce:

Step one: Get started by preheating your oven. Set it to 425 degrees F.

Step two: Next set up your dishes. Place water in a 9×13 baking dish. Any pan will work you just want to make sure one is larger than the other so you can place the smaller one inside the larger. I added about  1 cup to the large pan.

Step three: Now you want to pour your sweetened condensed milk into a smaller baking dish and place inside the dish with water (like in the picture above). Last, before baking cover your smaller dish with foil.

Step four: Place in the oven for 60-90 minutes until browned.

Step five: Remove from oven and allow to cool. Use an immersion blender as needed to make caramel creamy.

  • Tip: Blending your caramel is not necessary but during baking, your caramel could form a harder candy-like crystal on top. I like using the immersion blender to make the caramel super creamy.

How to store homemade caramel sauce:

I store mine in a mason jar with a lid and in a fridge. I found that it stays good up to 1 month. To serve place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time until warmed throughout.

Crystallized Caramel:

Caramel can crystallize easily which is why I said I like to blend mine. If you find it crystallizing in the fridge then reheat it on the stovetop with about 1/4 cup of water until the crystals are dissolved.
