Meanwhile, bring granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides as needed with a wet brush, until mixture turns a deep amber color, 10 –12 minutes. Mix in peanuts; scrape onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool; chop.
Heat palm sugar and 1/2 cup cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Transfer to a medium bowl; chill until cold.
