Cadbury Caramel Spread, 400g

Product Information

You can easily swap it for chopped up Cadburys caramel bars instead so you can make this recipe year round, or even use the caramel buttons. But to be honest, look how gooey and delicious the caramel eggs look. Slight sugar overload but YUMMYYYY. We tried to go one better than a millionaire’s shortbread by making it the trillionaire type: hazelnut praline, butter caramel and nibbly pieces makes this caramel chocolate a star. We’ve reminaged the classic banoffee pie into a chocolate slab form, so that you can break a few pieces off and enjoy the naturally sweet tastes of banana enriched with caramel and 40% milk chocolate. Our Trillionaire Shortbread Selector The wet method – this requires the addition of water, following the ratio of two parts sugar, one part water. Whether you stir your mixture with a spoon or shake your pan is still up for debate, but if you do choose to stir then make sure you don’t stop until your caramel is ready Adding too much liquid would certainly affect the ability for this spread to set? Did you measure out the water and cream to the exact amounts specified in the recipe? (apologies if that seems like a basic question, but measuring is critcal for caramel recipes like this) This deliciously sweet recipe is one of those ones that would be the perfect showstopper on the easter table for dessert, or even if you are a chocolate and caramel fan… it is insane. Easter baking

And talking of cream, it should be double cream (or an equivalent cream with a fat content of around 48%) – I’m not sure where in the world you live, but I know that creams can vary significantly If you find your cheesecake base is slightly too firm, you may need to reduce the butter content by about 1/3 next time you make the cheesecake if using the same ingredients! If using a biscuit with a chocolate coating, or a filling, use 2/3 of the listed amount of butter as it requires less. Excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect - The natural plant-based sweetener we use, maltitol, can cause a mild laxative or fullness effect in some individuals with digestive sensitivities. The effect is short lived, completely harmless and not unlike what often happens when you eat a handful of fresh cherries. When eaten in moderation, most people experience no negative effects. You would have to eat a whole jar of JimJams Chocolate Spreads to have these possible side effects.Some of my other cheesecakes that are based around something caramel like either use a caramel filling such as my Rolo one, or a combined flavour of chocolate and caramel but I wanted just chocolate for this to get that real hit of Cadburys goodness. A caramel cheesecake is a dream on its own, but a chocolate caramel one with Cadbury’s caramel chunks inside is INSANE. If you feel like going the whole hog, add some extra salt to the recipe to turn the whole batch into Chocolate Salted Caramel Spread I decided from the off that after my no-bake Mini Egg cheesecake and my no-bake Creme Egg cheesecakerecipes that I NEEDED to do a caramel one. So, Cadburys caramel it is. You can buy Galaxy caramel eggs around Easter time, but I do love a Cadburys caramel egg quiiiiittteeee a lot so I went for them.

Have a bowl of ice cold water ready to ensure your caramel mixture doesn’t go from being an amber coloured liquid to a burnt bitter dark colour. When the desired colour is reached, submerge the bottom of the pan in the cold water to prevent any further cooking of the caramel. Decisions decisions. All day I’ve been debating whether to bump a winter salad recipe and, you guessed it, in the end, I couldn’t resist. That means I have somethingsavoury and healthy to present next week, as a light interlude, before it’s full steam ahead on the treats front until January. Often people ask how I drizzle my ‘drizzle’s on and I use simple small disposable piping bags and its that simple. The Tala disposable piping bagsare PERFECT for all things drizzle and for small amounts. You just need to snip the end off and then its perfect. You can of course use a spoon, but I like my drizzles neat and easily done! I hope you love this one! For this Chocolate Caramel Spread, I recommend cooking the caramel to between medium and medium-well done (aka mid-dark amber). Keep your eye on the pan and do not let the caramel get too dark, else the spread will display unpleasant bitter notes when eaten.

The dry method – this requires that you simply heat sugar in a dry pan until it liquifies and turns brown. Never stir your mixture, as this could result in crystalisation, ruining your caramel. Instead, gently swirl your pan (a wide-set base works best) to achieve an even melt

However, if you’re short on time or don’t quite have the confidence to make homemade caramel from scratch, the cheat’s option combines sweetened condensed milk with butter and water for an easy, fail-safe caramel which still tastes delicious: simply melt all ingredients down on a low heat until the sugar caramelises and it turns a rich golden colour. How do you make caramel?You might be surprised to know that one of the first large-scale manufacturers of caramel in the US was Hershey’s during the mid 1800s. Although this company is now better known for its chocolate, Milton Hershey’s first company was called Lancaster Caramel Company, and sold caramels throughout America. Butterscotch has a darker colour and also imparts a rich, subtly fruit flavour, similar to that of molasses. If you fancy yourself a bit of a dab hand at baking, then incorporate some caramel into your next culinary creation for an extra decadent treat. Butterscotch sauce can be whipped with cream to create an indulgent icing, butter caramel can be spread onto shortbread and topped with chocolate to create a mouth-watering millionaire’s shortbread, and toffee pieces can be shopped up and used as a delicious decorative piece. As it happens, I’m pleased I held fire on publishing the recipe for this Chocolate Caramel Spread for a while. It originally started life as a Chocolate Salted Caramel Spread. But really, it works just as well as regular caramel without the salt. But here’s the best bit – it is customisable: For a smoother caramel which can be used as a spread or sauce, cream and butter need to be added to achieve that glossy, velvety consistency. After your sugar has melted, mix in the butter and cook for a few minutes, before slowly pouring in your double cream and mixing again.
