I'm addicted to caramel, but I never bought them without pangs of conscience!:)
I want to concience that every meals and sweets have a healthier version.
That statement made me wanna create the new version of these caramel sweets and here they are: I called them "caramel frutties" as their taste really reminds me of the tutti frutti candies you can buy in shops.
I tell you what did I exactly make, but I warn you, I baked just a small portion, that's why I used a bit weird quantity from every ingridients.
Let's start it. What you need:
150 ml yogurt (app. 10 big tablespoon)
150 g fructose (app. 7.5 tbs)
a half tbs of honey
a big pinch of salt
You'll need also a pot of water with ice.
Pour all the ingridiens into a pot and start to heat it up on middle degree.
Counting from the boiling it took me app. 35-40 minuntes to make it ready. Do not forget to mix it continuously. I was in a panic when it didn't seem to work, but be patient, after 20-25 min you'll see how it gets darker and thicker.
If you are not sure if it's ready or not, drop a little bit of caramel into the icy water and if it falls to pieces, it still needs some time.
Ok, you'll think I'm mental, but I didn't have ice in the freezer, so I used some snow! haha Why not, be creative!;)
Anyway.. So if it's ready, place baking paper into a flat baking tin or baking sheet or whatever.. it's not the most important in my opinion!:) And butter the paper. ( My kitchen was out of baking paper, I just buttered a plastic bowl and it worked)
Pour the caramel into the baking tin. Optimally you have to make it app. 2 cm thick.
Leave it in the fridge for a few hours. I've already tasted it after 2 hours, so it doesn't need too much time.If you don't have so much time, than take it to the freezer.
Finally slice it up into small cubes and enjoy!!
P.S.: Next time I'll try to replace the half of the fructose with milk sugar which is even more healthy and less sweet.
Did you know that milk sugar can be used also in anti candida diets?






These look great!
