Vanilla Cream Filled Caramels
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g / 7 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 g / 7.75 ounces) packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fluid ounces) light corn syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fluid ounces) heavy cream
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fluid ounces) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.75 ounces) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 g / 1 ounce) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g / 4.4 ounces) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Prepare a smooth mixture by gently heating heavy cream, granulated sugar, and butter in a saucepan, continuously stirring until the butter fully incorporates and sugar completely dissolves.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and introduce vanilla extract, stirring to infuse the aromatic flavor throughout the liquid base.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into the warm mixture, whisking diligently to create a luxurious, velvety cream with no lumps or granular texture.
- Allow the vanilla cream filling to cool completely at room temperature, ensuring it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency that will hold its shape when used in caramels.
- Once the cream has cooled and stabilized, it is ready to be carefully piped or spooned into prepared caramel shells, creating a delectable vanilla-infused center that will delight the palate.
Notes
- Gentle heat ensures smooth caramel texture without burning sugar or scorching cream.
- Cool filling completely before adding to caramel to prevent separation and maintain proper consistency.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for rich, authentic flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Store caramels in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent hardening.
