Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
- Add Ingredients: Once the butter is melted, add the heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Whisk everything together to combine evenly.
- Boil and Thicken: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Continue cooking while whisking constantly for 5-7 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.
- Remove from Heat and Add Vanilla: Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Store and Serve: Pour the warm cinnamon syrup into a jar or container for easy pouring. Serve warm over your favorite breakfast items or desserts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat to restore pourability.
Notes
- Store leftover syrup in the refrigerator; it will thicken but can be reheated to a pourable consistency.
- Whisking constantly while cooking helps prevent the syrup from burning or sticking to the pan.
- The syrup is best served warm but can be used cold as a spread or topping.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
