Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup erythritol (or another preferred sugar substitute)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the erythritol and stir until it dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Let the mixture cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown color.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring to prevent splattering. The mixture may bubble up at first.
- Continue stirring and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a pinch of xanthan gum, stirring well until smooth.
- Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before using. It will thicken further as it cools.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the caramel sauce to eliminate any graininess from the erythritol.
- This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove before using.
- For a more indulgent flavor, you can add a tablespoon of sugar-free maple syrup or a pinch of cinnamon.
