Ingredients:

2 cups milk

1/2 cup sugar (divided: 1/4 cup for caramel, 1/4 cup for base)

1/4 cup cornstarch

Optional: pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for extra flavor

 

Instructions:

1. Make the Caramel:

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 1/4 cup sugar over medium heat.

Let the sugar melt slowly without stirring. Swirl the pan gently if needed.

Once it turns a golden caramel color, carefully add 1/2 cup of warm milk (from the 2 cups total). Be cautious—it will bubble.

Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Cream Base:

In a bowl, mix cornstarch with the remaining 1.5 cups milk and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth (no lumps).

Add this mixture to a saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens (around 5–8 minutes).

Add the caramel mixture to the thickened cream base.

Stir well to combine and cook for another 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add vanilla extract if using.

3. Set and Chill:

Pour the hot caramel cream into serving glasses or a dish.

Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
