4.1 from 75 reviews

A rich and creamy cinnamon syrup made with butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla, perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, or desserts for a warm, spiced sweetness.

  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 cup (serves 6-8)

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

  1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove from Heat and Add Vanilla: Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. 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.
