Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Base

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature

Vanilla Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure and set out all your ingredients beforehand to ensure a smooth cooking process. Having everything ready helps you move quickly through each stage without worry.
  2. Make the Caramel Base: In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the mixture turns a rich amber color, indicating perfect caramelization.
  3. Add Butter and Cream: Carefully add the unsalted butter, stirring until melted. Then slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to create a smooth, velvety caramel sauce.
  4. Cool the Caramel: Pour the hot caramel onto a parchment-lined tray and let it cool slightly but not fully harden, so it remains pliable for filling.
  5. Prepare the Vanilla Cream Filling: Whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. This filling will provide the luscious texture inside each caramel.
  6. Assemble the Caramels: Cut the softened caramel into pieces, carefully creating indentations or hollow centers to fill with the vanilla cream, then seal or cover with another caramel piece.
  7. Chill and Set: Place the assembled caramels in the refrigerator to firm up completely. This helps the flavors meld and the texture perfect for serving.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure you reach the ideal temperature for perfect caramel without burning.
  • Constantly stir the caramel when adding cream to prevent clumping and create a smooth mixture.
  • Work quickly with hot caramel as it hardens fast, so swift assembly is key for filling.
  • Bring butter and cream to room temperature to help the caramel set evenly.
  • Store caramels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain softness.
