Caramel syrup is a must-have sweet treat to enhance any ice cream. Its creamy texture and slightly buttery flavor add a truly indulgent twist to your creations. And the best part? It's super easy to make at home. Whether it's topping vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or even adding a fruitier flavor to a dessert, caramel syrup is always a hit.
Ingredients :
- 200 g of sugar
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 50 g butter
- 1 pinch of salt (optional, for salted caramel)
Preparation :
- Melt the sugar
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat. Don't stir at first, but gently shake the pan to distribute the heat evenly. The sugar will gradually dissolve and become liquid, then begin to turn a lovely amber color. - Add the cream
Once your caramel has reached a nice golden color (be careful not to let it brown too much, or it will be bitter), remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the single cream. Be careful, it can splatter and boil violently! Then return the pan to low heat and mix well to obtain a smooth texture. - Add the butter
Add the butter cut into pieces and continue mixing until it is completely melted into the caramel. If you want a salted caramel syrup, now is the time to add a small pinch of salt. - Let it cool
Once the syrup is smooth, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight bottle or jar. It will thicken slightly as it cools, but will remain liquid enough to pour easily over your ice cream. - Storing your caramel syrup
The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. If the syrup becomes too thick after a few days, you can simply warm it slightly to liquefy it again.
