Thick Caramel Filling

This caramel recipe is so easy to make and it is made in one pot, using just a whisk!

Just 4 ingredients are used to create the smooth and silky caramel, which is perfect used as a filling for cakes, or in a caramel tart.

Ingredients

1 tin of condensed milk (397 g)

4 tbsp golden syrup

3 tbsp caster sugar

200 g butter

Method

Add all ingredients to a saucepan and melt on low heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently.
Turn the heat up and bring it to the boiling point, stirring continuously.
Boil for around 8 minutes. Make sure you are constantly stirring or it will burn.
Once the mixture looks like a soft fudge texture and is darker in colour, remove it from the heat.
Place on a heatproof mat and stir for 2 more minutes.
Allow to come to room temperature before using.

Notes

This caramel will thicken once it cools down, and it will thicken even further by putting it in the fridge.
If you are making caramel for the first time, take care and use a large pot to avoid splashbacks.
You can use this for any caramel treats, but please note that it is intended to be thick. It would be too thick to make drips on a cake once cooled.
You can also use this to make fudge by adding melted white chocolate and setting it in the fridge.
