Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
- 3 3/4 cups maple sugar
- 3 cups 35%, warmed
- 1 1/2 cup milk chocolate, grated
- 2 tsp fleur de sel
- 3 3/4 cups unsalted butter, cubed
Method
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, reduce the maple syrup to about 500 ml (2 cups).
- Add the maple sugar and cook without stirring until obtaining a clear caramel.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan or microwavable container, heat the cream.
- Remove the saucepan of caramel from the heat and gradually add the warm cream, taking care not to splash. Return to the heat, place a candy thermometer in the saucepan and simmer the caramel until the thermometer reads 112°C (233°F).
- Add the chocolate and fleur de sel, stirring well to achieve a homogenous consistency.
- Add the butter and, off the heat, incorporate it well with a stick blender until obtaining a nice smooth caramel.
- Strain through cheesecloth and place in containers.
