White Chocolate Caramel Recipe
White Chocolate Caramel Recipe
White chocolate caramel is a rich and luscious treat, perfect for drizzling over desserts, dipping fruits, or as a filling for candies. Here's how to make a creamy and decadent version:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional, for salted caramel)
- ½ cup white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Measure and prepare all ingredients before starting, as caramel cooks quickly and requires attention.
- Have a heatproof bowl ready for melting the white chocolate.
2. Make the Caramel:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat.
- Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula or whisk as the sugar melts and turns a golden amber color.
- Be careful not to burn the sugar; reduce the heat if it darkens too quickly.
3. Add Butter and Cream:
- Once the sugar is fully melted and golden, add the butter pieces. Stir until the butter is fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
- Continue stirring until the caramel is smooth and slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
4. Melt the White Chocolate:
- Immediately pour the hot caramel over the chopped white chocolate in the prepared bowl.
- Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Add Vanilla and Salt (Optional):
- Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- If you prefer a salted caramel, mix in the sea salt.
6. Cool and Store:
- Allow the white chocolate caramel to cool slightly before using.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving if it thickens too much.
Serving Suggestions:
- Drizzle over ice cream, brownies, or pancakes.
- Use as a filling for cakes, cupcakes, or macarons.
- Dip apples, pretzels, or strawberries for a sweet and salty treat.
Enjoy your creamy white chocolate caramel!
