Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 2
Once melted, whisk in the granulated sugar-free sweetener until fully combined and dissolved. This may take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Let the caramel sauce simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken as it cooks.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
Step 6
If the sauce appears too thick as it cools, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
