Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar-free sweetener blend with erythritol and stevia
- 1 cup sugar-free corn syrup substitute (such as a blend of fiber syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, sugar-free sweetener, and sugar-free corn syrup substitute.
Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer.
Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, ensuring it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 248°F (120°C), also known as firm ball stage.
Once the mixture reaches desired temperature, immediately remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.
Allow the caramels to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours or in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm.
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the caramel block from the pan. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut into small squares or desired shapes.
Wrap individual caramels in pieces of wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
