Serves: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and sea salt. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and sift in the powdered sugar. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until completely smooth and no sugar lumps remain.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly if it's too thick. This will help it incorporate more easily into the peanut butter mixture.
- Slowly pour the caramel sauce into the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously to create a consistent texture and prevent separation.
- Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture and fold gently to distribute evenly. Taste and adjust salt level if desired.
- Transfer the salted caramel peanut butter to a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight lid.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before sealing the jar.
- Store in a cool, dry place. The spread will keep for up to 2 weeks when properly sealed.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest possible blend.
- Sifting is Key: When adding powdered sugar, always sift to prevent lumpy textures and ensure a silky-smooth consistency.
- Caramel Technique: If your caramel sauce is too thick, gently warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make mixing easier.
- Salt Distribution: Fold the sea salt gently to create flavor pockets – some bites should be saltier than others for a complex taste experience.
- Storage Wisdom: Use a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight lid to maximize freshness and prevent contamination.
- Customization Hack: Experiment with different salt types like Himalayan pink salt or flaky Maldon salt for unique flavor profiles.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra indulgent treat, slightly warm the spread before serving to enhance its creamy texture.
