Yield: 480g
Ingredients
- 600ml double cream
- 30g unsalted butter
- 60g erythritol; for U.S. link click HERE
- 3 tsp vanilla extract; click HERE for U.S. link (or Make your Own)
- 20 drops caramel stevia liquid; U.S. link HERE
- 100g salted peanuts (slightly broken up); U.S. link HERE
Instructions
- in a small, heavy-base saucepan, add all ingredients except peanuts and caramel stevia.
- stir with a hand whisk and bring to the boil, then turn heat down to a simmer (induction 6)
- thereon, stir occasionally, scraping sides and bottom to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- once the caramel starts to thicken and become golden, stir almost continuously, paying attention to the sides and bottom of pan; it's OK if tiny brown specks become loose, but it's a clue that you need to stir more thoroughly and more often.
- the caramel will be ready when it is pale amber in colour and very thick, with a curdled look about it (see photo/video above); the mixture will have reduced considerably at this point.
- remove from heat, stir to cool down a little, then add peanuts, mix and fill your moulds.
- refrigerate or freeze until set.
Notes
If you prefer, you can just pour the mixture on a suitably sized tray, let it cool and firm up, then cut it into desired shapes.
I used this cute but inexpensive chocolate flowers silicone tray mould, and hearts mould (for U.S. flowers option, click HERE, and for hearts, click HERE).
Keep it refrigerated in a sealed container. Or store it in the freezer for a firmer texture.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use (UK Link). For U.S. option click HERE.
