Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Once melted, whisk in the granulated sugar-free sweetener until fully combined and dissolved. This may take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Let the caramel sauce simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken as it cooks.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
If the sauce appears too thick as it cools, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
