Caramelized Magic
Caramelized sugar makes a great
garnish for ice cream treats.
- Chefs and veteran home cooks use caramelize sugar to add a deliciously rich flavor to desserts. This simple technique involves heating sugar until it melts and turns a peppery brown.
- You can spoon the hot golden liquid over baked custard, drizzle it over ice cream or other desserts, or turn it into fanciful shards.
- Make the decorative shards by cooking the caramelized sugar mixture in a baking pan and tapping the cooled mixture with a spoon to make jagged pieces.
- Use the pieces as garnishes for puddings, parfaits, sundaes, and other frozen treats like our Frozen Caramel Custard. Or, finely crush the pieces and sprinkle them on the tops of cakes and tortes.
