23 Caramel Recipes That Will Make Your Mouth Water (2024)

FAQs

How do you make caramel sauce more liquid? ›

To thin caramel, just add some cream or water over heat. Melt caramel loaves in the oven. You can also add corn syrup or lemon juice to caramel sauces to prevent them from crystallizing.

Why add water to sugar when making caramel? ›

Keep a close eye on the color of the sugar and as it approaches a reddish-brown, remove it from the heat. When making a wet caramel, water is added to help dissolve the sugar before cooking.

Show Me More ›

What happens if you add too much water to caramel? ›

That water will end up in the caramel itself, so if you've added too much it might result in a thin caramel sauce. Try adjusting the cooking time to allow the excess water to evaporate.

How much water is in caramel? ›

Using a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, add ¼ to ⅓ of a cup of water to every cup of sugar in your recipe and heat over medium-high heat. You can stir the pan to dissolve the sugar, but once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring: the agitation can promote crystallization, which will result in grainy caramel.

How to make caramel less runny? ›

To thicken a caramel sauce, I would first mix some cornstarch with a little water then add it to the caramel sauce.

Know More ›

Why is my caramel not liquid? ›

If your caramel is not fluid enough for you and you are not cooking it at all after adding the cream (i.e. caramelizing the sugar to desired color/temp, deglazing with cream/butter/etc. off the heat, and then using it), you don't have enough liquid in your caramel.

Read On ›

Why add butter to caramel? ›

Once the sugar has all dissolved and turned brown, we add butter. The heat of the caramel will melt the butter and create even more wonderful flavors.

Learn More ›

Why did my homemade caramel get hard? ›

If the temperature gets too hot and the caramel becomes too hard as it cools, you can put it back in the pan with a couple of tablespoons of cold water to try and save it.

Why add vinegar to caramel? ›

Add acid. Acid ingredients (like vinegar or lemon juice) can help prevent re-crystallization which causes caramel to become grainy. Acid physically breaks the bonds between the glucose and fructose molecules that form sucrose and ensure that it stays apart.

What makes caramel soft or hard? ›

How long to cook caramel to achieve the right texture

Texture	Target temperature	Cook time (approx.)
Caramel sauce	215 - 235 degrees Fahrenheit	5-10 minutes

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for caramel? ›

Try milk instead.

If you don't want to make a special trip to the store, you can use whole milk with an extra tablespoon of butter in place of the heavy cream. It may not be quite as thick, but it will work in a pinch!

How do you fix caramel sauce that is too thin? ›

For each cup (240 mL) of caramel sauce that you need to thicken, run 1 tbsp (14.7 mL) of cold water into a measuring cup, and slowly stir in 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Pour the cornstarch mixture into your pot caramel sauce, and stir constantly. Keep the sauce on low heat until it begins to thicken.

How do you keep caramel sauce from getting hard? ›

Caramel crystallizes because there are crystals of sigar formed on the sides of the pan by evaporation. Brushing down the sides of the pan wirh water should prevent this. I usually add any butter or other fat in the recipe while the sugar is melting, so it is already combined as it caramelizes.

How do you thin out dulce de leche? ›

Dulce de leche may thicken as it cools down, so you may need to thin it out over some simmering water to use it as a garnish for ice cream or cheesecake. Create a water bath using a double-boiler, and heat a few tablespoons of dulce de leche in a pot over the simmering water. Stir the mixture occasionally to loosen.

How to get caramel to harden? ›

Refrigerate until cooled and hardened. (Best if you refrigerate them overnight, or for several hours. They will be easier to cut and wrap). The caramel will seem hard in the fridge after they're set, but they should be soft at room temperature.
