Thick Caramel Sauce Or Filling Recipes

THICK CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Measure and set aside the butter cubes and the pouring cream.
• In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, add the sugar. Stir it gently with a rubber spatula while it melts. It will first clump together, then gradually melt into an amber brown liquid. Don't turn the heat up high or let it cook for too long or the sugar will burn and the caramel will be bitter.
• Once it has all melted, switch to using a whisk and add in the cubes of butter, two cubes at a time. Start whisking straightway while you do this and don't stop until all the butter has melted. It will form a thick caramel.
• Once the butter has completely melted into the sugar, pour in the cream and keep whisking. Take extra care here as the cream will make the caramel bubble and rise. It may also split the caramel as the cream hits the hot sugar. Keep on whisking and cooking it until it forms a smooth and runny deep brown caramel sauce.
• Afterwards it off the heat and stir in the salt. If making regular caramel sauce, add ¼ tsp salt. For salted caramel sauce, add 1 teaspoon.
• Leave the sauce to cool for 5 minutes, then pour it into a clean jar. It will thicken up as it cools down.

CARAMEL FILLING

Steps:

• Add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, and 7 oz. of sweetened condensed milk into a large saucepan.
• Heat over a medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the mixture starts to bubble.
• Slowly stir in 1 Tbsp of heavy cream. Place a digital thermometer in the pan at this point. Continue to stir until the caramel reaches 238 F / 114 C (soft ball stage).
• Remove from heat and add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of salt. Pour into a separate container to let the caramel cool. Cover the bowl once the caramel has reached room temperature. This can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or a month in the fridge.
