How to Make Cream Caramels
- Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. (This helps prevent sticking)
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup of the heavy cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil. (Be patient, this takes time!)
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently. (This prevents burning).
- Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. (This will create a smoother caramel)
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer. (This is the soft-ball stage)
- Immediately pour the caramel into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Let the caramel cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up. (Refrigerating will help the caramels to set)
- Once firm, cut the caramel into 1-inch squares.
- Wrap each caramel individually in wax paper strips and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (Keeping them cold helps to preserve the freshness and texture)
