Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the erythritol and stir until completely dissolved.
Step 3
Slowly add the heavy cream to the saucepan, stirring continuously to combine.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then increase the heat to medium.
Step 5
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches a light golden color and thickens, approximately 20-30 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C).
Step 6
Once the desired temperature is reached, immediately pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Once set, lift the caramel block out using the parchment edges and transfer it to a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut the caramel into small squares or rectangles to your preferred size.
Step 10
Wrap each piece in small squares of parchment paper to store, preventing them from sticking together.
