Liquid comfort. This drink is a delicious result of the Maillard reaction (browning): sugar and milk proteins brown and caramelise under heat, creating that characteristic deep flavour profile known from fudge. The spiciness of the cinnamon cuts through the rich sweetness.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heavy-based saucepan (to prevent sugar/milk burning)
  • Whisk or wooden spoon
  • Heatproof mugs

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the milk into the saucepan and begin heating over medium heat.

Tip: Watch it constantly, milk tends to boil over suddenly.
2 ✓

When the milk is tepid, drop in the caramels and brown sugar.

Tip: If you cut the caramel into smaller pieces, it will melt faster.
3 ✓

Stir continuously until the caramel is completely melted. This may take a few minutes.

Tip: Stirring prevents the thick sugary mass from settling on the bottom and burning.
4 ✓

When the drink is smooth, add the cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.

Tip: Salt (a flavour enhancer) highlights the buttery nature of the caramel, don't skip it!
5 ✓

Heat for another 1-2 minutes, but do not let it boil.

Tip: Overheating can destroy the aromas.
6 ✓

Pour into mugs and crown with whipped cream, sprinkled with extra cinnamon.

Tip: Serve immediately, as a skin may form on top while cooling.

Recipe FAQ

The caramel clumped in the milk, what should I do?
Don't worry, this is normal when caramel enters colder milk. Just keep heating on low and stirring; it will melt beautifully.
Can I use ready-made caramel sauce?
Yes, it's faster, but melting real soft caramel (fudge) gives a richer, more buttery flavour.
