Instructions
Step 1
Start by gathering all the ingredients on a clean countertop. In a mixing bowl, combine 400 grams of sour cream with 400 grams of sugar. Make sure to use high-fat sour cream for a creamier texture.
Stir the mixture well until the sugar is fully dissolved. The lighter the mixture, the softer the final candy will be. Whisk until it's smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Next, transfer the mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Add 40 grams of butter to the pan. Continue stirring the mixture as it heats up.
Be cautious to avoid burning. Allow the mixture to cook until it begins to thicken and reaches a slight boil, then reduce the heat while stirring continuously.
Step 3
Once the mixture is thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can pour it into a greased dish or mold.
Allow the candy to set completely in a cool place, usually about 2-3 hours. Once set, you can cut it into desired shapes or squares.
Step 4
Your delicious creamy Irisa candy is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it at parties or enjoy it yourself as a sweet treat.
Store any leftover candy in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.

If you're using a saucepan to melt the butter, ensure it's heavy-bottomed to avoid burning. Keep your heat low and allow the butter to melt gradually.
Choose a mold of your choice, silicone molds work great! If using a tray, line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Variations
If you're looking to switch up the ingredients, you're in luck! 🌱 To make this recipe gluten-free, simply ensure your sugar is certified gluten-free. For a vegan adaptation, replace the heavy sour cream with full-fat coconut cream; it adds creaminess without the dairy! Not to mention, using vegan butter can easily substitute the traditional butter, keeping the recipe comforting yet friendly for different dietary needs!
Faq
- Q: How do I know if my candy mixture is ready?
A: The mixture should be thick and creamy with a consistent color. It should slightly hold its shape when spooned out but still be easy to spread into your mold.
- Q: Can I flavor my Iris candy?
A: Absolutely! You can add a few drops of your favorite flavor extract, like vanilla or almond, for a delicious twist.
- Q: What's the best way to store the candy?
A: Once cooled and set, store your candy in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer freshness, refrigerate it!
- Q: How do I achieve the perfect color for my candy?
A: Mix the ingredients until light and fluffy. The lighter the mixture becomes, the softer the end candy will be!
- Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes! Just ensure you have a large enough mixing bowl and mold to accommodate the increased volume!
- Q: How do I cut the candy effectively after it sets?
A: Use a heated knife or pizza cutter to slice through the candy easily without ruining its texture. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe it clean, and cut!
