Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
- 2 tablespoons Butter-flavored coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, sugar substitute, and butter-flavored coconut oil.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the sugar substitute dissolves and the mixture begins to steam (do not boil).
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a caramel-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the caramel sauce cool for 5-10 minutes. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Use immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
