Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and erythritol sweetener.
Over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly until the butter is melted and the erythritol is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.
Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 60 minutes or until it thickens and reduces by roughly half.
Keep a close eye on the mixture during the last 15 minutes of cooking to avoid burning.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Let the doce de leite cool in the saucepan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a glass jar or container.
Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing the container.
Store the keto doce de leite in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm slightly before serving for a smoother consistency.
