EASY CARAMEL WHIPPED CREAM

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
Salt
2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Heat sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  • Cook, without stirring, until mixture is amber. (Do not let caramel burn.) Carefully pour in 1 cup cream in a slow, steady stream down the side of the saucepan, whisking constantly, until smooth (caramel will bubble).
  • Remove from heat, and place saucepan in ice-water bath. Let caramel mixture cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold caramel mixture into whipped cream, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your caramel whipped cream will be. Use real cream, not a cream substitute, and make sure your butter is unsalted.
  • Cook the caramel to the right temperature: The caramel should be cooked to a temperature of 240°F (116°C). This will ensure that it is thick and flavorful, but not too hard or too soft.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before adding it to the whipped cream: This will prevent the whipped cream from curdling.
  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks: This will ensure that the caramel whipped cream is light and fluffy.
  • Use caramel whipped cream immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days: Caramel whipped cream is best when used fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you are ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Caramel whipped cream is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make perfect caramel whipped cream every time.
