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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, leaving the green tops intact. Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into each strawberry for easy dipping.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired color, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the unsalted butter, stirring constantly until fully melted.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Dip each strawberry into the warm caramel, twisting slightly to evenly coat the fruit. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Let the caramel-coated strawberries cool completely at room temperature until the coating sets, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Enjoy your delicious Salted Caramel Strawberries!
