Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Vanilla Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Gently heat this mixture until it is warm, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth, silky texture that will blend well into the caramel.
  2. Cook the Caramel Base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1 cup granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns a deep amber color, indicating perfect caramelization for rich flavor.
  3. Add Butter and Heavy Cream: Remove the caramel from heat and quickly whisk in 1/2 cup unsalted butter and the warmed heavy cream with vanilla. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir continuously until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Incorporate the Vanilla Cream Filling: Once the caramel base has cooled slightly but remains fluid, gradually fold in the warmed vanilla cream mixture. This step creates the creamy vanilla center within the caramel.
  5. Set and Cut: Pour the entire mixture into a lined baking dish and allow it to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Once set, cut into bite-sized squares or desired shapes, ready to enjoy or package for gifting.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to cook the caramel to approximately 245°F (118°C) for ideal consistency.
  • Warm cream before adding to prevent caramel from seizing.
  • Work quickly once off heat, as caramel thickens rapidly.
  • Incorporate light corn syrup to prevent sugar crystallization.
  • Use high-quality pure vanilla extract for the best flavor depth.
