salted caramel pumpkin sauce 🫙

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed (room temp)

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup pumpkin purée

½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp flaky sea salt (plus more for topping)

Instructions:

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it melts into a golden amber liquid.

2. Carefully whisk in butter (it will bubble). Stir until smooth.

3. Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking (it will bubble again). Cook for 1 minute.

4. Remove from heat, then whisk in pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and sea salt until silky.

5. Let cool slightly before using—it will thicken as it cools.

6. Drizzle over coffee, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Store in a jar in the fridge up to 2 weeks.

Whether you’re topping pancakes, stirring it into lattes, or spooning it over ice cream… this cozy, sweet + salty sauce tastes like autumn in every bite. 🎃🍮 Perfect for all my pumpkin lovers who want to level up their fall treats!

... Read moreIf you're looking for a way to add a warm, festive touch to your fall dishes, this salted caramel pumpkin sauce is a must-try. Combining the rich, buttery flavors of caramel with the earthy sweetness of pumpkin purée, this sauce is perfectly accented by pumpkin pie spice and flaky sea salt for a balanced sweet and salty experience. One of the highlights of this recipe is its versatility. You can drizzle it over your morning pancakes for an indulgent breakfast, stir a spoonful into your coffee or latte for a seasonal twist, or spoon it over vanilla ice cream or waffles for a decadent dessert. The sauce’s combination of granulated sugar and butter cooked until golden creates a deep caramel flavor, while the pumpkin purée adds moisture and autumn warmth. To make the best salted caramel pumpkin sauce, take care when melting your sugar. Heating it slowly over medium heat until it reaches a golden amber color ensures a rich caramel base without burning. Adding room temperature unsalted butter helps create a smooth texture, while heavy cream enriches the sauce for that luscious finish. Adding flaky sea salt at the end boosts the flavor by balancing the sweetness and enhancing the spice notes. Pumpkin pie spice is an essential ingredient here, imparting the classic autumn flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can easily make your own blend using those spices. The vanilla extract rounds out the flavor profile and adds depth. For storage, keep your sauce in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When ready to use, you may want to warm it slightly as it tends to thicken when cooled. This sauce is perfect for those who want to elevate their fall culinary creations with an easy yet impressive homemade touch. Try experimenting by adding some to your baked goods, oatmeal, or even cocktails for an unexpected burst of autumn flavor. Whether you’re a pumpkin lover or simply enjoy sweet and salty combinations, this salted caramel pumpkin sauce is sure to become a staple in your seasonal recipe collection.
