So, what is caramelized sugar?
Caramelized sugar is a sweet and crunchy ingredient that is created by heating granulated sugar until it melts and turns golden brown. This process of caramelization alters the flavor and texture of the sugar, giving it a rich and complex profile with notes of toffee and butterscotch. Caramelized sugar can be used in a variety of desserts such as cakes, cookies, and custards, or as a topping for ice cream and other confections. It adds depth and sweetness to any dish and is a popular choice among bakers and pastry chefs alike.
