 Caramel Sauce RecipeBanana Soufflé with Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe

Looking for a budget-friendly gift for your Valentine? Stay in and surprise that special someone with a homemade sweet treat like our Banana Soufflé with Salted Caramel Sauce! When making the caramel sauce, don’t forget to add cream of tartar (or any acid, like a drop of lemon juice or cornstarch) in order to prevent the caramel from crystallizing and turning into rock candy.
