Equipment

  • Thermometer
  • 2 sauce pans
  • Storage Jar

Ingredients

  • 40 ml Water
  • 105 g Granulated Sugar
  • 120 ml Heavy Cream
  • 120 g Butter, Salted

Instructions

  • Add the sugar and water to a sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  • In a separate sauce pan, heat up the cream. It needs to get to 160°-170°C (320°-340°F)
  • Once the sugar mixture starts to brown, swirl the pan off of the heat. Whatever you do, do not mix with a spoon. The longer you cook the caramel, the more bitter it becomes.
  • Off the heat, slowly add the cream, stirring continuously with a whisk. Be careful, this is when it bubbles up and starts to bubble and spit like a cauldron. That is normal. Keep pouring in the cream and whisking simultaneously. Once everything is combined, add the butter, then mix until the butter is melted and thoroughly mixed in.
  • Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Then transfer to a proper storage container and store in the fridge until needed. I personally use squeeze bottles that are microwave safe, easy to heat up and serve.
