Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the erythritol and stir until completely dissolved.
Slowly add the heavy cream to the saucepan, stirring continuously to combine.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then increase the heat to medium.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches a light golden color and thickens, approximately 20-30 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C).
Once the desired temperature is reached, immediately pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the caramel block out using the parchment edges and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the caramel into small squares or rectangles to your preferred size.
Wrap each piece in small squares of parchment paper to store, preventing them from sticking together.
