Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 whole Strawberries
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
- 50 ml Water
- 20 pieces Wooden skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, leaving the green tops intact. Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into each strawberry for easy dipping.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently to mix, then heat over medium heat without stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the sugar mixture to cook until it turns a deep amber color. This process should take about 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired color, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the unsalted butter, stirring constantly until fully melted.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring, being cautious as the mixture will bubble up vigorously. Continue stirring until the caramel is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in half a teaspoon of flaky sea salt. Let the caramel cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, but not too long, as it needs to remain pourable for dipping.
Dip each strawberry into the warm caramel, twisting slightly to evenly coat the fruit. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. While the caramel is still tacky, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of additional flaky sea salt.
Let the caramel-coated strawberries cool completely at room temperature until the coating sets, about 10-15 minutes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Enjoy your delicious Salted Caramel Strawberries!
