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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
