Caramel Filling Recipes

CARAMEL FILING FOR CAKES TARTS AND DESSERTS

Steps:

• Place brown sugar, golden syrup, and butter in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Stir until all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Pro tip - Stir often and the heat to medium otherwise the sugar around the edges will burn and give the caramel a burnt taste.
• Reduce the heat and continue to cook until the mixture becomes darker in color. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Pro tip - once all the moisture has evaporated the sugar will start to caramelize further. This will give the caramel a deeper color.
• Next, reduce the heat to low. Add the condensed milk and let come to a boil on low heat again. Pro tip- when you add the condensed milk the mixture may appear curdled or separated but just combine and it will all become smooth.
• Cook on low for about another minute or two stirring constantly. The mixture will get thicker. Add the vanilla extract and take it off the heat. Pro tip - we want a smooth creamy texture that coats the back of a spoon.
• Set aside to cool slightly before you pour into a mason jar or fill a tart. Pro tip - The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. You can pour warm caramel into a tart to help it smooth out easily.
• Enjoy!
