Instructions:

To make the umami caramel sauce:

2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is a deep amber color.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
4. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
5. Return to medium heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

To assemble the sundaes:

1. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each of six glasses.
2. Pour the umami caramel sauce over the ice cream.
3. Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

Ideas for Improvements:

• Use brown sugar for a richer flavor: Substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar to add depth and complexity to the caramel sauce.
• Add a hint of spice: Stir in a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
• Use a different type of ice cream: Experiment with flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, or salted caramel to create unique sundaes.
• Top with additional toppings: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, crushed Oreos, or shredded chocolate for extra crunch and flavor.
• Make a layered sundae: Alternate layers of ice cream and caramel sauce for a decadent and visually appealing dessert.
• Invert the sundaes: Place the sundaes in glasses and freeze for several hours. Invert the glasses onto plates to reveal perfect caramel-drizzled scoops of ice cream.
• Serve with salted caramel sauce: Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the sundaes for an extra burst of sweet and salty flavor.
• Garnish with fresh fruit: Top the sundaes with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or diced peaches for a refreshing contrast.
