Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

How to Make Caramel Cream Sandwiches
- Start by preparing the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Slice the brioche buns in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each sandwich.
- Generously spoon the whipped cream onto the bottom half of each brioche bun.
- Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over the whipped cream filling.
- Place the top half of the brioche bun over the filling, pressing down gently to secure the sandwich.
- Repeat the process with the remaining buns until all are filled.
- Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the tops of each sandwich and sprinkle with optional sea salt flakes for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to set the filling slightly before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best volume.
- Don’t over-whip the cream; stop mixing as soon as soft peaks form to keep it light and airy.
- Use high-quality caramel sauce for the richest flavor.
Easy Variations
- Try adding a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries inside the sandwich for a fruity twist.
- Substitute the vanilla extract with almond or hazelnut extract for a nutty flavor.
- Experiment with flavored caramel sauce, such as sea salt or chocolate caramel.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- A cup of coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness.
