This delicious caramel is so versatile and utterly delicious! Use it on its own, drizzled or mixed into your frostings. Yum!
Ingredients
For Salted Caramel
- 1 cup (200 g) Sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) of whipping cream, warmed (more for thinner caramel)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla
Method
- 1)
In a heavy based medium pot place the sugar and heat on medium high swirling the sugar until it turns a deep amber and is completely dissolved. This will take 7-10 mins.
- 2)
Stay next to the pot. It will burn very quickly if not careful and must be swirled in order to prevent burning.
- 3)
Once a deep amber caramel appears, turn off the fire and add 1\2 cup of the warmed cream.
- 4)
Allow for boiling to settle, and then whisk to combine.
- 5)
Be careful steam will be very hot. Add ¼ tsp salt, vanilla and 2 tbsp of butter.
- 6)
Whisk until smooth and transfer to a Pyrex pitcher to cool.
- 7)
PS: add more cream about 1/2 cup for a runnier caramel, this one sets quite firm to a total of 250ml.
Notes
Attention: don’t attempt to make caramel with kids or pets in the kitchen. The caramel sugar can be scalding hot.
