Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3/4 cup Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once butter is melted, add the sugar-free sweetener to the pan and stir until it is fully incorporated with the butter.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to cook, stirring frequently, until it turns a light golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
Step 4
Slowly add the heavy cream to the pan while continuously stirring. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remember, the caramel will thicken more as it cools.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 7
Allow the caramel to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and reheat gently before using if needed.
