Full Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup Olpers dairy cream (or any full-fat cream)
For the Caramel Cream:
300 ml Olpers dairy cream (or any full-fat cream)
Half quantity of the caramel sauce (prepared above)
For Assembly:
Plain cake slices (store-bought or homemade)
Remaining caramel sauce (prepared above)
Caramel cream (prepared above)
Cake crumbs (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Caramel Sauce:
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 cup of sugar over medium heat.
Stir continuously with a spatula until the sugar melts and turns into a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
Once the sugar has fully melted, add 1 tbsp of butter. Stir until the butter is completely combined with the caramelized sugar.
Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of Olpers dairy cream while continuing to stir. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously due to the difference in temperature.
Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the caramel sauce to cool to room temperature. This caramel sauce will be used for both the sauce layers and to flavor the caramel cream. - Prepare the Caramel Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, pour 300 ml of Olpers dairy cream.
Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until it starts to thicken. The cream should be soft and hold light peaks.
Gradually fold in half of the caramel sauce that you prepared earlier. Mix gently until the caramel is fully incorporated, creating a rich, flavorful caramel cream.
Set this caramel cream aside for assembling the dessert. - Assemble the Caramel Cream Delight:
Take your serving dish or individual dessert cups and lay plain cake slices at the bottom. You can use store-bought plain cake or a simple homemade sponge cake.
Drizzle a generous amount of the remaining caramel sauce over the cake slices, ensuring that the cake absorbs the caramel flavor. This adds moisture and a rich caramel taste to the dessert.
Spread a thick layer of the caramel cream over the caramel-drizzled cake. Use a spatula to smooth out the cream evenly across the layer.
Repeat the layering process if desired: cake slices, caramel sauce, and caramel cream. The number of layers will depend on the size of your serving dish or cups.
For the final touch, finish with a layer of caramel cream on top. - Garnish:
Garnish the top layer with cake crumbs for added texture and presentation. You can either crumble leftover cake or use pre-prepared cake crumbs for this step.
For an extra decorative touch, you can drizzle some additional caramel sauce on top of the crumbs or sprinkle some crushed nuts (optional). - Chill and Serve:
Place the assembled caramel dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and gives the caramel cream time to set.
Once chilled, your Special Caramel Cream Delight is ready to serve. The rich caramel flavors, combined with the lightness of the cream and the soft texture of the cake, make for a mouthwatering treat.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
Caramel Tips:
While making caramel, keep a close eye on the sugar as it melts. Sugar can burn quickly once it starts to caramelize, so stir continuously and monitor the color closely.
If your caramel becomes too thick, you can loosen it by adding a small splash of cream and stirring it in while still warm.
Whipping the Cream:
Ensure that your cream is cold before whipping, as chilled cream whips more easily and holds its shape better.
Be careful not to over-whip the cream, as it can turn grainy. You’re aiming for soft, fluffy peaks.
Cake Variations:
You can use any type of plain cake for this recipe. Sponge cake, pound cake, or even ladyfingers will work well.
If you prefer a richer flavor, try adding a few drops of coffee or chocolate syrup to the cake layer for an added twist.
