Caramel Slice
    - Prepare a try with a base as you usually would for caramel slice.
       - To prepare the caramel filling for the slice, use a proportion like this:
 
   >     1 kg    Crella Caramel Filling.       >        200 mls    Water 
   >        40 gms     Gelatine.

 

-         Warm up the caramel to 45 degC                                                      

---         In a separate pot, boil the water.

             -`         Turn off the heat.

  -         Dissolve the gelatine in the water.

  --         Mix this preparation thoroughly into the warm caramel.

  -         While it is still warm, pour it approximately 1 cm thick onto the base.

  -         When cooled and set, decorate by coating the entire top with chocolate.

  -         After the chocolate sets, cut the slice with a hot knife
You can adjust the proportions and the total amount for your requirements.
You can use this preparation as a topping for sponge cakes instead of icing.

-           As another variation, melt the caramel to around 50 oC and pour into precooked tart shells. These are great when coated in chocolate.

 

Always put nuts, chocolate or any other dry ingredient on the highest point of the filling.

This prevents them from sticking to the paper bag when packed.

 

Never use hands or wet utensils to take any pastry cook filling from the container. Apart from contaminating it, the water will change the balance of ingredients and it can ferment or grow mould.

 

When spreading caramel onto sponges or any soft or crumbly product use a piping bag with a medium size tube to pipe it on.
