Ingredients for Homemade Chewy Toffee
To prepare this chewy toffee recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
-
1 cup sugar
-
½ cup butter
-
½ cup condensed milk
-
¼ cup water
-
1 tbsp 100% Halal Gelatin (Gelito)
-
1 tsp vanilla essence
-
A pinch of salt
These ingredients are easy to find and combine beautifully to create a smooth, chewy texture.
Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Take a small bowl and dissolve 100% Halal Gelatin in warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes to bloom properly. This step ensures the gelatin blends smoothly into the toffee mixture.
Step 2: Prepare the Toffee Base
In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and condensed milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture melts and turns golden brown. Be careful not to let it burn, as this will affect the taste.
Step 3: Add Gelatin
Once the sugar mixture is ready, add the bloomed gelatin. Mix well until it completely dissolves and the texture becomes glossy and thick.
Step 4: Flavor the Mixture
Add vanilla essence and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Stir everything together for a smooth finish.
Step 5: Pour and Set
Grease a tray or line it with butter paper. Pour the hot mixture into the tray and spread evenly. Let it cool at room temperature until it firms up.
Step 6: Cut and Serve
Once fully set, cut the toffee into small cubes or bars. Store in an airtight container and enjoy your homemade chewy toffee made with 100% Halal Gelatin.
Why Use 100% Halal Gelatin?
Gelatin is the secret ingredient that gives toffees their chewy texture. However, many commercially available gelatins are not halal, which makes them unsuitable for certain consumers. By using 100% Halal Gelatin, you ensure that your desserts are:
-
Safe and permissible for everyone
-
Healthier, as halal gelatin is free from harmful additives
-
Perfect in texture for toffees, jellies, and other desserts
This not only adds value to your cooking but also gives peace of mind that the food served is completely halal.
Tips for Perfect Chewy Toffee
-
Always stir the mixture continuously to prevent it from sticking or burning.
-
Use a candy thermometer if possible — the ideal temperature is around 250°F (120°C).
-
For a nutty flavor, you can add roasted almonds, cashews, or peanuts before pouring the mixture into the tray.
-
Wrap individual toffees in butter paper for freshness and easy storage.
