Ingredients
- 8 cups plain popcorn (freshly popped, unsalted)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn:
- Pop your popcorn kernels and place them in a large bowl. Make sure they are plain, with no added butter or salt.
- Make the Sweet Cream:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and sugar.
- Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves (do not boil).
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then remove the pan from heat.
- Pour the Cream Over Popcorn:
- Slowly drizzle the warm sweet cream over the popcorn while gently tossing it to coat evenly.
- Let it Rest (Optional):
- Allow the popcorn to sit for a few minutes so it absorbs some of the cream, while still maintaining a crunchy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips:
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle some cinnamon, and cocoa powder, or drizzle caramel sauce on top.
- If you prefer a crunchy version, spread the popcorn on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F (120°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for a creative twist!
Enjoy this delightful snack! It’s sweet, creamy, and irresistibly tasty. 🍿✨
