Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy-bottom saucepan, add the granulated erythritol and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the erythritol has dissolved completely.
Once the erythritol is dissolved, stop stirring and allow it to come to a boil. Let it boil undisturbed until it turns a light amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted.
Slowly add the heavy cream while continuing to stir carefully. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up vigorously.
Continue to cook the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before using. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
