Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grass-fed butter
  • 1 cup organic honey
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup coconut sugar
  • 1.5 cups non-fat dry milk powder
  • 0.5 cup powdered monkfruit
  • 0.25 cup softened butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste
  • 1.5 tbsp water

Instructions:

  1. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup grass-fed butter, honey, heavy cream, and coconut sugar. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
  2. Clip a digital candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Increase heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches the 'soft ball' stage (approximately 240°F / 115°C).
  3. Pour the caramel onto a silicone mat or parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool until firm enough to handle but still pliable.
  4. Prepare the cream center by mixing the dry milk powder, powdered monkfruit, 1/4 cup softened butter, and vanilla bean paste. Add water drop-by-drop until a playdough-like consistency is achieved.
  5. Roll the cream center into long, thin ropes. Flatten the cooled caramel into a rectangle using a rolling pin.
  6. Place a cream rope onto the caramel, wrap the caramel around the center, and pinch the seam to seal. Roll the log to smooth it out and slice into individual Cow Tales.
