Ingredients

For the Jaggery Caramel Sauce

• 1 cup Sarbu Jaggery Powder
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp water
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Jaggery

1. Add 1 cup Sarbu Jaggery Powder and 2 tbsp water to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2. Heat over low to medium flame, stirring gently until the jaggery powder melts completely.
3. Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Avoid cooking it for too long, as jaggery can become bitter if overheated.

Step 2: Add the Butter

1. Reduce the heat to low.
2. Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
3. Whisk continuously until the butter melts and combines smoothly with the jaggery mixture.

Step 3: Add the Cream

1. Slowly pour in ½ cup heavy cream while whisking continuously.
2. The mixture may bubble vigorously, so add the cream carefully.
3. Continue cooking on low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Cook until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.

Step 4: Add Flavor

1. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
2. Add ½ tsp vanilla extract and ¼ tsp sea salt.
3. Mix thoroughly.
4. Allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 5: Serve & Store

1. Pour the warm sauce over your favorite dessert or transfer it to a clean glass jar.
2. Allow it to cool completely before covering.
3. Refrigerate in an airtight container and gently reheat before serving if needed.

Why Use Sarbu Jaggery Powder?

Sarbu Jaggery Powder gives this caramel sauce a rich, deep sweetness with a distinctive jaggery flavor. Its fine texture melts easily with butter and cream, creating a smooth, velvety sauce that works beautifully with cakes, ice cream, pancakes, and other desserts.

Chef’s Tips

• Use low to medium heat when melting jaggery to prevent it from burning.
• Warm the cream slightly before adding it to reduce excessive bubbling and help the ingredients combine smoothly.
• Whisk continuously while adding the cream for a silky, lump-free sauce.
• Don’t overcook the sauce; it will thicken considerably as it cools.
• Add a pinch more sea salt for a delicious salted-jaggery caramel variation.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, gently warm it with 1–2 tbsp cream or milk.
• If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for another 1–2 minutes.
• Store refrigerated in a clean, airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
