Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and erythritol sweetener.

Step 2

Over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly until the butter is melted and the erythritol is dissolved.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.

Step 4

Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 60 minutes or until it thickens and reduces by roughly half.

Step 5

Keep a close eye on the mixture during the last 15 minutes of cooking to avoid burning.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 7

Let the doce de leite cool in the saucepan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a glass jar or container.

Step 8

Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing the container.

Step 9

Store the keto doce de leite in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm slightly before serving for a smoother consistency.
