Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the onions thinly into half-moons.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Stir to coat the onions evenly.
Cook the onions over medium-low heat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Be careful not to burn them.
Once the onions are caramelized, pour in the vegetable stock and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over low heat until hot, but do not let it boil.
Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper to the milk mixture, stirring to combine.
Using an immersion blender or stand blender, blend the caramelized onions and stock mixture until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into the milk and cream mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and heat gently for another 5 minutes.
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the cappuccino mixture until it becomes light and airy on top.
Pour the onion caramelized cappuccino into serving mugs or bowls, spooning some frothy foam on top.
Optionally, dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish before serving.
