Salted Chai Caramels
Spicy and earthy chai and vanilla scent these caramels. I highly recommend using a thermometer to make these. Despite needing a thermometer, these are not hard to make at all. The caramel gets extremely hot so be careful and stir slowly to avoid splashes.
Servings: 16
Calories: 50kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 4 tablespoons butter or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
- 1 1/2 cups allulose
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 scoops instant chai mix
- flaky salt for garnish, optional, such as Maldon
Instructions
- Line a 6×6-inch pan with parchment paper so it overhangs both sides. Set aside.
- Heat cream with the chai. Let sit on low heat for 10 minutes. Add butter and keep warm.
- Add allulose to medium to large pan (you want a larger pan as the cream will bubble up and over a small pan when added later). Pour 1/4 cup water in, streaming it down the sides to ensure no allulose is on the sides of the pan. Do not stir or swirl the pan. Heat to 300-325ºF and you see color just change to brown, without stirring.
- Add the warm cream and butter mixture to the caramelized allulose. It will bubble and rise significantly. Cook until 250-265ºF, stirring occasionally. You can test for thickness by dropping a bit into ice water, if you like. Pour into pan. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Cut into 16 pieces with an oiled knife and wrap in waxed paper. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
My favorite thermometer for this is the ChefAlarm from ThermoWorks, which makes it hands-free and allows you to set temperature targets with an alarm so you are notified when a specific temperature range is reached and therefore don’t have to monitor the temperature constantly. It is also great for cooking meats to specific temperatures without having to open the oven and check.
