Move over salted caramel, there's a new dessert sauce in town! This rich, velvety maple cream makes an excellent gift. It also serves as the filling for our Maple-Pistachio Thumbprints.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon safflower oil
Pinch of flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the bowl of a stand mixer (or any large heatproof bowl, if using a handheld mixer) in an ice-water bath. Combine maple syrup, oil, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, undisturbed, over medium-high heat. Continue boiling, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 235 degrees (soft-ball stage), 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer syrup to bowl in ice-water bath and let stand, undisturbed, until it has cooled to 100 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Attach bowl to stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-low speed until mixture becomes thick, creamy, and the color of peanut butter. (This can take anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes, so set a timer and check on it periodically if using a stand mixer.) Transfer cream to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in refrigerator or a cool, dark place up to 1 year.
