Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter This rich component brings a creamy base to the sauce.
  • 1 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener A delicious sugar alternative that mimics the sweetness of traditional sugar without the carbs.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Adds lusciousness and smoothness, creating that irresistible texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and amplifies the caramel flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by melting the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener) and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture is well-dissolved.
  3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly and simmer this mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes, observing it thicken into a beautifully smooth sauce.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and salt, adjusting the flavors to suit your taste, and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

Stir constantly while adding the cream to ensure a smooth consistency. Adjust sweetness to your preference and consider adding flavors like cinnamon or caramel extract for variations. Store in pretty glass jars for an attractive presentation.
