To Start, add the sugar and 120ml of water to a large pot and bring to the boil. Once bubbling, allow to boil for approximately 8 minutes, turning deep amber in colour. Do not mix or swirl while bubbling.

While the sugar is bubbling, gently warm the cream and vanilla in a separate saucepan.

Once the sugar mix has reached a deep amber, remove from the heat and slowly pour in the warmed cream. Whisking in the cream quickly, be careful as the sugar mix will froth, rise and be very hot. Once the cream has been added, continue to whisk until bubbling subsides, then set aside to cool and thicken. Easy!
