Does anyone know how I can make a caramel whipped cream?

We are serving Madeline's at a shower and want to be able to serve them with a bowl of caramel flavored whipped cream.

TIA!!

 
I'd make a sugar + water caramel. Cool. Then dissolve it in cream (like an infusion). Chill & whip.

 
You think the cream would whip with the additional liquid? I'd have suggested using brown sugar

as the addition (instead of white). Otherwise, I'd be concerned. Did the water/sugar work for you?

 
same suggestion. I'd use dark brown sugar to sweeten the cream before whipping. you could even

melt the sugar in a saucepan till just melted and cool a bit then add to the cream.

 
If you boil the sugar and water to the caramel stage there would be no liquid remaining

It would harden as it cooled but would probably dissolve in cream given time. Or maybe a small amount of cream or water could be added to the finished caramel to keep it soft as it cooled, (that's how I make caramel sauce) and added back to the cream.

I think it would be worth a try--I like caramel so much better than brown sugar.

 
That was my first thought - brown sugar instead of confectioners...not sure it would be enough?

For a good caramel flavor?

 
Yes, I made big stockpots of it

every day at the restaurant when I was doing pastry. You basically moisten some sugar in a saucepan with just enough water to make the sugar like wet sand (it's not necessary to stir the water into the sugar, you do not want to get the sugar crystals up the side of the saucepan), then cook it (without stirring!!) over medium heat until the mixture turns a deep amber color (don't walk away or take a phone call or your caramel may burn). Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour in some heavy cream (be careful, it will splatter) stirring (with wooden spoon) or whisking to incorporate the cream into the caramel. Return the pan to medium heat and stir (wooden spoon is good here, or the whisk) until combined and smooth. Remove from heat and set the saucepan into an ice bath to cool the mixture down. Once it's chilled you can whip the caramel cream as you would whipped cream. It's delicious.

Let me see if I can find a recipe online for you that serves less than 100! LOL

 
I'm surprised the cream will still whip once it has been heated and cooled. Good to know!

 
It whips beautifully! And the whipped caramel cream will actually hold up pretty well for a few

hours (it's best to keep it chilled in refrigerator until ready to use). But once it sits overnight it starts to get a bit weepy. It's still good at that point, and can be gently whisked back into a usable state, but definitely not as fresh as Day 1.

 
I'm playing with a new banana cream pie recipe

which I'm using Biscoff crumbs for the crust, a base custard of sweetened condensed milk, fresh bananas, and topping with a mound of fresh whipped cream topped with chocolate shavings. I had been thinking about trying the caramel whipped cream on this, and now you've convinced me.

One question: I'm making everything today for tomorrow. I wouldn't think there would be any problme making the caramel cream, and then putting it in the fridge over night, then whipping right before I mound it on the pie?

TIA!
