How to Make Caramel in the Microwave
Making Caramel in the Microwave is a quick easy way to make a caramel for a dessert tart or a pie, and a different way to make caramel than in the can on the stove……it’s worth a try!
Method
-
Pour the condensed milk into the container and cook on high for 1 minute.
-
Take it out and stir with a whisk.
-
Put it back – do the same again – keeping a very close eye on it…. if it looks like its going to boil over – stop the microwave immediately, take out the bowl and whisk. Don’t stick your finger in the mixture – it is scalding HOT.
-
Next – on 50% power – keep cooking the mixture for one minute at a time – again keeping an eye that it doesn’t boil over. Sometimes you can get caramel in 5 minutes – sometimes 10 – I find the older the tin of condensed milk – the quicker it turns to caramel.
-
You know its ready when it is goes slightly ‘yellow’ in colour and the mixture looks very ‘mottled’. Just take it out and whisk until smooth.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- If you leave the mixture until it goes a caramel colour – it will burn!
- Serve on its on or scoop into a tart shell.
- Not suitable for freezing.
Now – this requires 110% of your concentration – you can’t look away for a second. (Unless you want to clean up a great big mess…. been there – done that!!!)
