Caramel recipe wanted

[becks]

Greetings all, I am looking for a caramel custard recipe for my son. I currently mix him an Gvc clone with 7% salted caramel added. He wants more caramel! Shall I just keep upping the percentage ? Anyone got any recipes please?

[Tom]

15% Capella v1 custard
4% Flavour Art Caramel

4 weeks in the cupboard.

I think you will be surprised

funny enough i have been thinking about doing a salty caramel cheesecake.
thinking along the lines of

nyc                   6%
salty caramel     8%
bavarian cream  2%
graham cracker  1%
not sure if it would work but may have a bash next weekend unless others have a better plan of attack

Salted Caramel can be a bit of a coil gunker, so I'd be wary of upping the percentage of it becks . . . . how about keeping the GVC clone as the base but changing the Caramel that you use?

My two favourites have always been TPA's Caramel Original ( more of a ' toasted ' caramel ) and FW's Caramel Candy ( like a Werther's creamy caramel )  . . . . . One on One's Caramel Candy is very similar in taste.

That was me in subtlety mode .

Thanks to all for the suggestions, I will give them all a go. Interesting about the salted caramel being a coil gunker  the  boy is always complaining about having to burn them off every two days. Incidentally, my wife bought some Tesco own brand salted caramel, has anyone tried it?

[whiteclouds]

I make this for a mate of mine and he loves it:

3% Vienna Cream (FA)
1.5% Caramel (FA)
1.5% Caramel toffee (TPA)

If you prefer a stronger caramel I would increase the caramel toffee %
as with all DIY play with it until your happy

Forgot to add, ok to shake n vape

Don't rush out and buy any concs on the basis of this recipe yet @broadblaster as I haven't tested it yet...  it's been steeping for 3 weeks now, so only another week and I can let you know if I think it's worth it or not...  although Yellow Cake is a great conc to have if you like your dessert flavours

Wasn't going to get it just for this i love my creamy juices and i have never tried this cream so it would be rude of me
not to try it but thank you anyway .

Although I haven't, wouldn't imagine it being overly strong myself . . . . FW & CCW's are the two that I've used - both very nice, both gunkers.

Yes, that's the one Perpetual. Got to admit, it does smell lush though. I will mix a small sample and let him try it. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions.
