Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pork rinds (unsalted and plain, for keto popcorn substitute)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol sweetener
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
Prepare your workspace by laying out a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Place the pork rinds in a large mixing bowl. If the pieces are too large, break them into bite-sized chunks to mimic the texture of popcorn.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the granulated erythritol sweetener. Stir constantly to avoid burning until the sweetener has dissolved completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and turns a golden toffee color.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. If using chopped pecans, add them to the toffee mixture at this stage.
Quickly and carefully pour the toffee mixture over the pork rinds in the bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat the pork rinds until they are evenly covered in the toffee mixture.
Spread the coated pork rinds evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to cool and the toffee to set for about 30 minutes.
Once the toffee is firm, break the Keto Toffee Popcorn into clusters and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
