Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving edges hanging over for easy removal.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully add butter pieces and stir until melted and combined.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring; the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Stir in cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Bring mixture to a boil and cook until a candy thermometer reads 245°F (118°C) for soft caramels.
- Pour caramel into prepared pan and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Once set, lift caramel from pan using parchment edges and cut into squares.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Notes
For an extra touch, wrap each caramel square in wax paper to keep them fresh and non-sticky.
