Homemade Caramel Cream

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Caramel:
    • In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is evenly moistened.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
    • Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the sugar turns a deep amber color. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  2. Add the Butter:
    • As soon as the sugar turns a deep amber color, carefully add the cubed butter. The mixture will bubble up vigorously, so be cautious.
    • Stir the butter into the caramel until fully melted and combined.
  3. Add the Cream:
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream, continuing to stir. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up again.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
  4. Cool the Caramel:
    • Allow the caramel to cool in the saucepan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a mixing bowl.
    • Let the caramel cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Whip the Caramel:
    • Once the caramel has cooled, use an electric mixer to whip the caramel on medium-high speed until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve:
    • Your homemade caramel cream is now ready to be used. You can spread it on cakes, use it as a filling for pastries, or simply enjoy it by the spoonful.

This rich and creamy caramel cream is perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to your desserts. Enjoy the luscious flavor and smooth texture!
