Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a small baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs the sides for easy caramel removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, granulated erythritol, and sugar-free maple syrup.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until the butter has completely melted and the erythritol is dissolved.

Step 4

Once the mixture is well combined, increase the heat slightly to a medium-high and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Stir frequently, maintaining the gentle boil and allowing the mixture to reach a temperature of 245°F (118°C). This will take about 25–30 minutes and the mixture should thicken and darken in color.

Step 6

Upon reaching the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 8

Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. If you need them to set more firmly, you can refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

Once the caramel has hardened to a chewy consistency, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into small rectangular pieces with a sharp knife.

Step 10

Wrap each caramel individually in parchment or wax paper squares to prevent sticking, and store in an airtight container.
