Description
This rich and creamy homemade caramel is made with just four simple ingredients. Perfect as a topping for desserts, fruits, or coffee!
Ingredients
-
200 g granulated sugar
-
50 ml water
-
125 ml heavy cream (room temperature)
-
40 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
-
Add sugar and water to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
-
Once dissolved, increase the heat to high and do not stir. Let it boil for 3–4 minutes until it turns light golden.
-
Remove from heat. Carefully stir in the warm cream and butter — it may bubble up.
-
Stir until smooth and creamy. Let it cool to room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
Don’t stir while boiling — it can cause crystallization.
Use room temperature cream and butter to prevent splattering.
Add a pinch of sea salt for salted caramel or a drop of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before use.
