Wish I read the comments before attempting. It's not butterscotch and yes cold cream solidified the sugar. Needs better instructions as I have runny sweet stuff now.

Absolute rubbish. This is a caramel sauce. You need brown sugar and don't need to caramelise it. I tried it out of curiosity and threw it out . Disgusting. Used an M and S recipe - four times as much butter, half the cream , no caramelising. Gorgeous. This recipe should be taken down.

Cream in SLOWLY as well. What a disaster. Delia has a much better recipe

Wrong recipe! Butterscotch sauce is made with brown sugar not white! You just made caramel

Poor recipe. As others have commented, room temp cream is needed - straight from the fridge solidifies the caramel. Also 'dark brown' produces a bad burnt taste. Surprised with two poor errors in only 1 instruction. Please re-write to prevent others wasting ingredients.
