Keto Caramel Ingredients

You will need only 3 ingredients to create this delicious keto caramel that is a game changer. It’s perfectly sweet and thick and fantastic to use in tons of desserts. This is everything you will need:

• Heavy Cream – Add creaminess to the caramel sauce. I recommend using a quality, unsweetened heavy cream. 
• Sweetener – use a granulated brown sugar replacement for this recipe. You can also use allulose, which has the same properties as sugar.
• Butter – use unsalted softened butter.

How To Make This Keto Caramel

Once will see how easy it is to make your caramel sauce at home, you will never want to buy it from the store. No one can tell this caramel is low carb and sugar-free.

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on medium to low heat. When it is completely melted, add the sweetener and mix until combined.
2. Continue to stir from time to time for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the heavy cream at once and whisk quickly. Lower the heat and continue mixing until a thick sauce forms. 
4. Once the sauce is thick and rich in color, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a jar.

Tips and Variations For Making The Best Keto Caramel

• Weigh and prepare all the ingredients so that you have them on hand while preparing the sauce because it may burn quickly.
• Even if the sauce seems liquid, let it cool; it will harden as it cools.
• Don’t burn the sugar; make sure to let it get a rich brown color.
• As the caramel is thickening, you may stir in a teaspoon or two of coffee powder to make a coffee-flavored caramel sauce.
• You can also add some chopped dark chocolate into the caramel while cooking.

What to Eat with Keto Caramel? 

Keto Caramel sauce is a staple in my pantry, and I love it with recipes like keto cinnamon rolls, cheesecake, keto apple pie, or as a dip for strawberries. Here are some great ideas for using this delicious keto caramel:

• You can use it as a topping for your keto cheesecake.
• Make some keto brownies or keto blondies and top them with this caramel sauce. 
• This keto caramel sauce can be used to flavor your bulletproof coffee in the morning or to make a delicious mocha frappuccino. 

Storing Ideas

• Fridge – You can store the sauce in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two months.
• Freezer – You can also freeze the caramel sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

The caramel tends to harden in the fridge, but it reheats well, and you can always enjoy a gooey caramel with a scoop of your favorite keto ice cream. When reheating the sugar-free caramel sauce, make sure to use a low temperature because a high temperature may separate the oils.
