Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.333 cup Powdered erythritol sweetener (or any powdered sugar-free sweetener of choice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for salted caramel)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquified.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, stir in the heavy cream and powdered erythritol sweetener.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Allow it to bubble softly for roughly 7-10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and develops a golden caramel color. Remember that the caramel will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the sea salt if making salted caramel, adjusting to taste.

Step 5

Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes before using. Transfer to an airtight jar or container once fully cooled. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 6

To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream if needed to restore the desired consistency.
