Salted caramel is the perfect balance between sweet and slightly salty. This caramel is delicious as a topping for ice cream or even for creating swirls in your frozen creations with Ninja Creami. It's simple to make and guarantees a "wow" factor for every dessert. Follow these steps to make homemade salted caramel that everyone will love!
Ingredients :
- 200 g of sugar
- 80g of semi-salted butter
- 150 ml of full liquid cream
- 1 pinch of fleur de sel (optional, to enhance the salty touch)
Preparation :
- Melt the sugar.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in the sugar and heat over medium heat. Don't stir immediately with a spoon, 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 not to let it brown too much, or it will taste bitter. - Add the butter.
Once the sugar has melted and turned golden, remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, cut into pieces. Mix quickly with a spatula or whisk. The caramel will bubble vigorously; this is normal! - Add the cream.
Return the saucepan to low heat and slowly add the cream, stirring continuously. Be careful, as the mixture will foam a lot at first. Continue stirring until you have a smooth and creamy sauce. - Add the fleur de sel.
To intensify the salty flavor, add a small pinch of fleur de sel at the end of cooking. This creates an even more delicious contrast between the sweet and salty flavors. - Let it cool.
Let your salted caramel cool slightly before using it on your ice cream. Once cooled, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about two weeks. If the caramel becomes too thick after a few days, you can gently warm it to make it liquid again.
Ninja Creami Tip:
Salted caramel is perfect for topping vanilla, chocolate, or even apple ice cream made with your Ninja Creami. For those with a sweet tooth, you can also swirl it into your ice cream base before churning to create a marbled caramel ice cream. If you want even more texture, add toasted walnuts or hazelnuts to your ice cream, along with a generous amount of caramel!
There you have it, your homemade salted caramel is ready to enhance all your Ninja Creami frozen creations. It's the sweet and salty touch that will transform your desserts into true delights!
