Salted Caramel
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
This recipe will make more caramel than needed.
To use the extra caramel up line a 8×8 glass baking dish with waxed paper coated with butter.
Set aside.
In a heavy medium sized sauce pan add together the whipped cream, sugars and corn syrup. Place over med-high heat and bring to a boil.
Use a pastry brush dipped in water to wash down the edges of the pan to remove sugar crystals that may have formed.
Do not stir.
Attach your candy thermometer to the side of your pan.
Let your caramel boil until just before it reaches 250*, then promptly remove from the heat. Add in the vanilla, salt and butter. Stir until it’s mixed through.
Allow your caramel to slightly cool before using it for your cupcakes.
Once cooled add 1/3 of your caramel to a piping bag. Pour the rest into your buttered baking dish. Set aside.
Snip a very small piece of your piping bag off and fill each cupcake center with your delicious caramel.
Set piping bag aside to add any leftovers to the tops of your cupcakes after you add the icing
Icing
3/4 cup butter
2 cups icing sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Mix all the ingredients together until smooth.
Add into a piping bag with a fun tip on the end. Pipe in a circular motion around your cupcakes.
Top with the extra caramel in your piping bag if you choose!
Enjoy!

I’ve been curious about a recipe for salted caramel. I’ve been drinking coffees with salted caramel all year. I can easily picture myself having at least a couple of these cupcakes and maybe even share some with my family.

I love it when I see a recipe that uses ingredients that I actually have at home so I don’t have to specially go out and pick something up.
They seem pretty easy to do, I’m such a fan of caramel!!

Good Evening to you, Salted caramel is quite a new flavour for me as I have only used it once in a cake. I love the idea of adding salted caramel to these lovely cupcakes. Do you know I have a feeling, once they are put on a plate, they will be gone in no time.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best Wishes
Daphne
