Of all the dessert sauces, caramel is by far my favourite as a topping for ice cream. It also plays well on pancakes/waffles, tarts, bars and other confections. It's well worth whipping so up and having it kicking around for when the mood strikes.
Keto Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Sukrin Gold (*Or other granulated erithrytol-stevia blend or similar sweetener like Swerve, if not available)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (Maldon or Fleur de sel
- 1/2 teaspoon caramel extract
Directions:
Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium pan and let it cook until golden brown, around 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, watching it carefully to avoid burning it.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. While you wait for it to boil, whisk in sweetener and salt. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer gently for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is a caramel colour and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. (*Note: if you increase the recipe, you'll need to increase the cooking times or use a larger pot.)
Remove from heat. Whisk in the caramel extract. Pour the caramel into a glass container. Continue to stir while it cools and thickens. Use right away and pour over keto vanilla ice cream, or or store in the fridge for future use. (*Note: It will harden and you'll need to be soften it by heating it up in the microwave or on the stove to make it the right consistency.)
