Tips
- For best results, use Tate and Lyle golden syrup and Nestle condensed milk.
- You can scale this recipe up really well.
- The faster you whisk, the higher you can put the heat to prevent burning.
- Do not cover the caramel until it is completely cool.
- Leave it for about 4 hours to set before spreading.
- If you put it onto something while it's still hot, it could melt what's underneath.
- Can be used on cakes, brownies, and millionaire's shortbread.
- Whisk until it reaches at least 93 degrees Celsius on a thermometer, up to 103 degrees Celsius depending on desired thickness.
- If it starts bubbling, push it off the heat or keep stirring and whisk for a couple of minutes whilst it's off the heat to prevent burning from residual heat in the pan.
- You will feel it thicken up and you'll also see it start to darken in color
