Ingredients
- 60 g butter
- 250 g sugar
- 150 ml heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Butter
- Put the butter in a pan over medium heat and let it melt completely.
Step 2: Caramelize the Sugar
- Add the sugar to the melted butter.
- Stir constantly as the sugar dissolves and starts to caramelize. This will take a few minutes, so be patient and keep stirring to prevent burning.
Step 3: Add the Cream
- Gradually pour in the cream, a little at a time, stirring constantly.
- Each time you add cream, allow the mixture to thicken before adding more.
- Continue this process until all the cream is incorporated.
Step 4: Thicken the Mixture
- Continue to stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens. You should be able to see the bottom of the pan when you slide a wooden spoon through the mixture.
Step 5: Pour into Mold
- Line a box or a baking dish with baking paper.
- Pour the thickened caramel mixture into the prepared box and smooth the top.
Step 6: Cool and Set
- Let the caramel mixture cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, place the box in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the caramel to harden.
Step 7: Cut and Wrap
- Remove the hardened caramel from the box and place it on a cutting board.
- Use a sturdy knife to cut the caramel into cubes.
- Cut baking paper into squares and wrap each caramel cube like a candy.
Serving
Serve these delicious caramel candies immediately or store them in an airtight container for later. They make a perfect treat for any occasion!
