Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or allulose (sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the granulated erythritol (or allulose) and whisk to combine. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble lightly.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking. The mixture may bubble up, so be cautious to avoid splatter.
Turn the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 8-10 minutes. The mixture will thicken and develop a golden caramel color.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Adjust salt to taste if you prefer a salted caramel flavor.
Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a heat-safe storage container. As it cools, it will continue to thicken slightly.
Store the caramel in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To use, gently reheat it in a saucepan or microwave, stirring to restore its creamy texture.
