Bring the water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved in the water.
Cook uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the caramel has turned golden brown.
Carefully pour in a slow, steady stream of cream into the caramel while stirring constantly. The hot caramel will boil vigorously when the cream is added and solidify in areas.
Add the vanilla extract and salt.
Continue stirring over low heat for 5 to 10 more minutes until the caramel is smooth and creamy.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Serve over ice creams, cakes, or other desired desserts, and enjoy!
