Salted Caramelized Sugar is like the grown-up version of cotton candy—sweet, airy, and infused with the deep, toasty flavor of caramel. It’s a game-changer for coffee, whipped cream, or even desserts like frosting!
This idea came to me a few years ago when I wanted to add a caramel note to whipped cream but found that salted caramel sauce didn’t work—it made the cream deflate. That’s where this caramel sugar shines! It adds flavor without compromising texture.
The possibilities are endless. Try my Toffee Whipped Cream, where this caramel sugar blends with whipped cream, transforming into tiny, melt-in-your-mouth toffee bits. The result? A frosting that’s pure magic!
The key to perfect caramelized sugar lies in the color—it should be a dark amber brown to bring out that intense salted caramel flavor. Be cautious, though! If it cooks too far, it can turn bitter. Balance is everything with caramel, and when you nail it, the result is absolutely divine.
