Cooking instructions for Banana Caramel Smoothie:

• Stir in the vanilla extract into the cream and set aside until required.
• Empty the cup of white sugar into a medium pot and heat it over slow flame until it melts to form a deep golden caramel; don’t stir to avoid any sugar crystals in it.
• Empty the cup of boiling water in it and continue to cook, while stirring regularly, until it forms a smooth blend.
• Whisk in the brown sugar as well as butter and cook until the sugar dissolves and the caramel becomes smoother.
• Pour in the vanilla-flavoured cream into the caramel and stir them well together to mix thoroughly.
• Turn off the heat and set aside until it cools down to form a thick sauce.
• Store it in an airtight container in the fridge until required.
