Follow the steps below and discover the secret to making the most delicious caramels! Step by Step for Condensed Milk Caramels Step 1: Preparing the ingredients Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand. Choose a quality condensed milk, as this will influence the final taste of the caramel. The butter should be at room temperature for easier melting. Step 2: Boiling the condensed milk Open the can of condensed milk and pour the contents into a large saucepan. It is important to use a larger saucepan, as the milk will boil and overflow if there isn't enough space. Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the sugar. Wait for it to reach the boiling point. Step 3: Continuous mixing Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and begin stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. This is a crucial moment, as the milk can stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Stir constantly, ensuring you gather the mixture from the bottom and the sides. Step 4: Cooking Continue cooking the mixture for about 20-25 minutes until it thickens. The color will start to change to a darker, more caramel-like hue. Step 5: Adding the butter When the mixture reaches the desired consistency, add the butter and mix well. Be careful, as the mixture may 'splash' from the saucepan. Mix well until the butter is fully incorporated and the composition becomes smooth. Step 6: Testing the caramel To check if the caramel is ready, take a small portion of the mixture with the tip of a spoon and place it in a glass of cold water. Let it sit for a few seconds, then take it out and form a ball. If it forms easily and doesn’t spread, the caramel is ready. If not, let it cook for a few more minutes. Step 7: Cooling the mixture Once the caramel is ready, turn off the heat and pour the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to distribute the mixture evenly, forming a layer of desired thickness. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then move it to the refrigerator for a few hours until it hardens completely. Step 8: Cutting the caramels After the caramel has hardened, remove it from the tray and cut it into pieces with a sharp knife. I recommend using a knife for precise cuts. Step 9: Serving and storing Condensed milk caramels are best served at room temperature. If you want to store them, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be stored for a few days, although they are hard to resist for that long, given how delicious they are! Useful tips - You can add additional flavors, such as vanilla or almond extract, to customize the caramel's taste. - If you want to impress your friends, you can coat the caramels in melted chocolate after they have hardened. - These caramels can also be used as a filling for cakes or tarts, adding a touch of sweetness and creaminess to your dessert. Nutritional benefits Condensed milk caramels are rich in calories, having about 70-80 calories per piece, but they also provide a quick source of energy due to their high sugar content. Condensed milk also provides essential proteins and calcium. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use homemade condensed milk?
