Salted butter caramel is the perfect balance between sweet and a little salty touch. This caramel is delicious as a topping on ice cream or even to create marbling in your frozen creations with Ninja Creami. It is simple to prepare and guarantees a “wow” effect in every dessert. Follow these steps to make a homemade salted butter caramel that will delight everyone!
Ingredients :
- 200 g of sugar
- 80 g of semi-salted butter
- 150 ml of whole liquid cream
- 1 pinch of fleur de sel (optional, to reinforce the salty touch)
Preparation :
- Melt the sugar
In a large, heavy-based saucepan, pour the sugar and heat over medium heat. Don't stir with a spoon right away, but gently shake the pan to distribute the sugar evenly as it melts. Let it cook until the sugar turns a nice golden color. Be careful, it must not brown too much to avoid a bitter taste. - Add the butter
Once the sugar has melted and browned, remove the pan from the heat and add the butter cut into pieces. Mix quickly with a spatula or whisk. The caramel will bubble strongly, this is normal! - Add the cream
Return the pan to a low heat and slowly add the liquid cream while stirring continuously. Be careful, because the mixture will foam a lot at first. Continue stirring until you have a smooth, creamy sauce. - Add fleur de sel
To intensify the salty taste, add a small pinch of fleur de sel at the end of cooking. This gives an even more delicious contrast between sweet and salty. - Let it cool
Let your salted butter caramel cool slightly before using it on your ice cream. Once cooled, you can store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for about two weeks. If the caramel becomes too thick after a few days, you can reheat it slightly so that it becomes liquid again.
Ninja Creami Tip:
Salted butter caramel is perfect for topping vanilla, chocolate, or even apple ice cream made with your Ninja Creami. For lovers of a sweet tooth, you can also swirl it into your ice cream base before churning to obtain a marbled caramel ice cream. If you want even more texture, add toasted walnuts or hazelnuts to your ice cream, with a good dose of caramel!
There you have it, your homemade salted butter caramel is ready to enhance all your Ninja Creami frozen creations. It’s the sweet and sour touch that will transform your desserts into real delights!
