candy themometer optional but recommended
Ingredients
112g(½cups)white sugar
42g(2tbsp)glucose/ corn syrup
30g(¼cups)water
157mls(⅔cups)heavy whipping cream
40g(¼cups)dark chocolatechopped
40g(¼cups)milk chocolatechopped
½tsp(½tsp) salt
vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, syrup and water. Cook over medium heat, until the sugar turns a deep amber brown colour, around 185°C - to 190°C /365° to 375°F. I can take around 6-10 minutes depending on your saucepan and heating element. Swirl rather than stirring to prevent crystallisation.
Working quickly once the deep amber brown colour is reached, remove from heat and immediately stir in the cream. Take care not to burn yourself in the step as there will be bubbles and steam. Keep stirring until smooth and glossy.
Add chocolate and rest of ingredients and stir smooth. Mix well until the mixture is luxuriously smooth. Place into a small bowl or jar, cover and leave to cool in fridge until needed.
Notes
Be organised: Measure and have all your ingredients ready BEFORE you begin. The recipe moves quickly and if you aren’t organised you risk burning the caramel.Keep close by: When the caramel begins to colour, it will darken quickly, so keep a close eye on it or it will burn.Use a thermometer for best results: Grab yourself a candy thermometer that will withstand very high temperatures. We are wanting a deep amber colour but that can be subjective. or pay close attention to the colour for best results.Store it: Keep in an airtight jar in the fridge for a month.
