Ingredients Needed for Keto Caramel Sauce

Here’s what you’ll need to make this quick caramel sauce: 

• Butter
• Heavy Cream
• Allulose Sweetener
• Vanilla extract
• Optional: sea salt

What Sweetener Should I Use? 

The sweetener you use is the key to a successful low-carb caramel sauce. For most of my other keto desserts, I use Monkfruit or Swerve as my sweetener. However, this recipe uses Allulose for the sweetener. Allulose is a low-calorie sugar that does not alter blood glucose levels. It has a clean taste that is very similar to regular sugar.

The reason I use Allulose instead of Monkfruit or Swerve is because it does not become granular once cooled and reheated. By using Allulose, you are sure to have a silky smooth caramel sauce no matter how many times it is cooled or reheated. 

How to Make Keto Caramel Sauce

You can make a sweet and creamy low-carb caramel sauce in just a few easy steps. Be sure you read through the tips and tricks below to ensure you create the perfect keto caramel sauce.

1. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.
2. When the butter is completely melted, stir in the sweetener. 
3. Allow the sweetener to begin to caramelize, stirring regularly for 6-8 minutes until a caramel-like sauce begins to form.
4. When the sugar has browned, carefully pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble, this is normal, just continue to stir the mixture. 
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt if using. As the caramel cools it will thicken. 

Do I Need a Candy Thermometer for This Recipe? 

No, you do not need a candy thermometer to make keto caramel sauce. This recipe is very easy and you only need to watch it carefully to create a perfect, smooth sauce. 

How to Store Keto Caramel Sauce

Simply store the keto caramel sauce in an air tight container in your refrigerator. This caramel sauce does not need to soften at room temperature. When ready to use, simply stir and enjoy!

If you prefer a warm caramel sauce, heat in a microwave proof container in 20-second increments until warm. When stored properly, this caramel sauce lasts 1 month. 

Tips for Making Keto Caramel Sauce

• If you use a sugar alternative like Monkfruit to make this recipe, it will become grainy and won’t turn out properly. You must use allulose. 
• Continually stir the caramel sauce as it cooks, otherwise it could stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. 
• You must use full-fat heavy cream to make this recipe. Using a lower-fat alternative won’t give the same results.
