Description

These Cherry Caramel Balls offer a delightful blend of sweet caramel, tart cherries, and a creamy vanilla center, coated in pistachios and drizzled with dark chocolate. They’re perfect for gifting or a special treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7oz) Granulated Sugar: Provides sweetness and structure to the caramel.
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) Water: Dissolves sugar and creates the initial syrup base.
  • 120ml (1/2 cup) Heavy Cream: Adds richness and a velvety texture.
  • 30g (2 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter: Introduces subtle richness and a silky-smooth texture.
  • 1 tsp Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract: Creates a creamy vanilla core with a warm aroma.
  • 100g (3.5oz) Dried Tart Cherries: Provides a burst of fruity flavor.
  • 1 Tbsp Cherry Juice (Optional): Enhances the cherry flavor.
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
  • 1 tsp Agar-Agar Powder: Sets the caramel as a vegetarian gelatin substitute.
  • 100g (3.5oz) Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa): Adds elegance and a contrasting flavor.
  • 50g (1/3 cup) Toasted Pistachio Crumbs: Provides crunch and a beautiful green hue.

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Sugar: Combine sugar and water, cook until amber.
  2. Emulsify with Cream: Remove from heat, whisk in cream, butter, and salt. Simmer to dissolve agar-agar.
  3. Infuse with Cherry: Stir in cherries and optional juice; cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Vanilla Core: Whisk vanilla extract with cream until smooth.
  5. Spread and Chill: Spread caramel on parchment, chill until set.
  6. Assemble Balls: Spoon vanilla cream onto caramel, top with caramel.
  7. Firm and Portion: Refrigerate, cut into portions, roll into balls.
  8. Coat in Pistachio: Roll balls in pistachio crumbs.
  9. Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt chocolate and drizzle over balls.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream. Toasting pistachios enhances their flavor.
