How about your white caramel?
Fortunately, creating your own creamy caramel to add a special touch to your favorite desserts and drinks is not complicated at all. With a few ingredients and a little patience, a jar of candy in your closet is ready to use at a moment’s notice. The preparation process is surprisingly simple and the results are spectacular. There is nothing more pleasant than enjoying the sweetness and smoothness of caramel, made with love and care.
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The procedure:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it has turned into a golden melted caramel. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent the sugar from burning.
Once the sugar has completely melted and is golden in color, add the butter in small cubes. See how the caramel boils and melts at this point. Continue whisking until the butter is fully melted and well incorporated with the caramel.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the heavy cream a little at a time, stirring constantly. Watch for the mixture to bubble as you add the cream. Continue beating until the cream is fully incorporated and you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and stir again to combine all the ingredients. Vanilla will give caramel a very sweet smell and taste.
Allow to cool slightly before transferring the crème caramel to a glass jar or container and allowing to cool to room temperature. Once it is completely cool, you can cover it and store it in the refrigerator until you need it.

Wisely, your caramel is more than perfect
Control the heat: Be sure to heat the sugar over medium heat and evenly to avoid burning. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to ensure even distribution of heat.
Use a suitable pan: Opt for a medium-thick pan, not wood so that the caramel does not stick or burn easily.
Do not over stir: Once the sugar has melted and begins to caramelize, avoid over stirring. The pan can be rotated slowly to distribute the heat, but too much disturbance can cause crystallization.
Keep an eye on the color: Caramel should have a golden color and a dark, sweet smell, but be careful not to make it too dark, as it can turn bitter.
Be careful when adding the cream: Add the heavy cream slowly and carefully to avoid splattering. Stir constantly to achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Proper Refrigeration: Refrigerate the caramel to room temperature before serving in the container. This will help it solidify and get a creamy texture. Do not touch it, because you could burn yourself.
Storage: Transfer the candy to an airtight, heat-resistant glass jar or container. Store on the refrigerator shelf to extend shelf life.
Caramel Shelf Life: Homemade Creme Caramel can keep in the refrigerator for about 2-3 weeks. Make sure you check it visually and smell it before you recognize its novelty use.
Remember that caramel can harden in the refrigerator, but heat it gently in the microwave or in a water bath to make it liquid again.
