This caramel sauce is so easy to make and really is the best caramel sauce you will EVER eat. It blows any caramel sauce you can buy at the store out of the water. If you have access to goat's milk, I truly recommend you try it. Just be sure to use goat milk because this recipe will not work with any other kind of milk.
Goat Milk Caramel Sauce
1/2 gallon of goat milk
2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 T. of water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Turn your crockpot onto high. Pour into the crockpot your milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
Stir every 10 minutes until the milk is hot and the sugar is dissolved. As soon as the sugar is dissolved (it won't take very long), stir in the baking soda.
Continue cooking on high, stirring about every hour. After the mixture has cooked for 2 hours, stir in the cornstarch. Whisk well.
I generally cook it about 8 hours total before using it. If you want this thicker, remove the lid after 6 hours of cooking and cook it 2-3 hours with the lid off of the crockpot.
The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months but the sauce never lasts more than a day or two at our house because it is so good we use it on about everything.
It makes the perfect ice cream topping but Ron and Bub LOVE to add a tablespoon of it to their coffee. We also like to drizzle some over our bread pudding. What ways do you like to use caramel sauce?
