Ingredients

Scale
  • 70g unsalted butter
  • 200ml double cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g raw sugar
  • 100g maple syrup
  • 250ml whiskey
  • 1 heaped tsp flaky sea salt
  • ¼ tsp crushed dried chipotle chilli flakes

Instructions

  1. Butter and line the base and sides of a 20 x 30cm tin with baking parchment.
  2. Pour the cream into a saucepan along with the butter and vanilla, then bring to a simmer. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, then remove from the heat.
  3. In a separate pan, melt the sugar and maple syrup together, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar granules have dissolved, bring to the boil and cook until the temperature reaches 119C on a sugar thermometer. Remove from the heat and swiftly whisk through the cream mixture. Return to the heat and cook until the mixture reaches 105 – 110C, constantly whisking so it doesn’t catch. Remove from heat and allow it cool for 20 minutes at room temperature. Transfer to the fridge and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Once the caramel is set and cold, transfer it into a blender along with sea salt flakes, chipotle flakes and start blending. Slowly pour in whisky until completely combined.
  5. Pour into an airtight bottle and refrigerate to chill.
  6. Salted Caramel Whiskey is now ready to drink!
