Sugar Free & Keto Caramel Sauce
Sugar Free & Keto Caramel Sauce
Love smooth and creamy caramel sauce? Hate the low carb/keto caramel sauces that form crystals once they are chilled? Then this amazing sauce is what you are looking for! It is buttery, creamy, tastes like real caramel and has a delicious salty finish. Not a fan of salted caramel, just add the salt to taste.
Not that I'm suggesting eating the full batch by the spoonful in one sitting, but you will be tempted, a full recipe only has 3.69 net carbs in the full batch!!! About 0.4 net carbs per serving. Makes about 9 (1 tablespoon) servings.
Yacon syrup is mostly FOS Fructo-oligosaccharides that are not metabolized by humans, so small amounts don't raise blood glucose levels. http://www.drhardick.com/unhealthy-natural-sweeteners If you are very concerned, you can leave it out.
Palao created the original recipe, I modified it to use a combination of Allulose and stevia, and full fat canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream because I can't find grass-fed heavy cream near me and that is the kind I would use. I have not tried this with dairy free "butter" but if you do please let me know how it turned out.

Sugar Free & Keto Caramel Sauce
56 gm butter (grass fed is best) (about 4 tablespoons) 1/4 cup Allulose sugar free maple flavored syrup (I use this brand) 118 gm full fat canned coconut milk (I weighed it) (I use this brand) 1/4 tsp. unrefined sea salt or to taste (I use this brand) 1/4 tsp. stevia (equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar) (I use this brand) 1/2 tsp. yacon syrup or dark molasses, optional but recommended 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. gluccomanan/konjac powder* (I use this brand) 1. Add butter to a small saucepan over medium/low heat and simmer, stirring every so often, until fully browned (about 5 minutes). Do not burn! 2. In a small bowl, combine the Allulose, coconut milk, salt, stevia and molasses or yacon; mix well. Pour into the browned butter stirring until fully combined. 3. Simmer over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, whisking frequently or until reduced to 3/4 cup and a medium-thin caramel texture. Whisk in glucomannan powder and lightly boil 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour into an 8 ounce glass mason jar or other heat-proof container. Cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate. Mixture thickens as it chills. Rewarm in microwave or in a small saucepan for a pourable sauce or refrigerated for a spreadable sauce. Use within 1 week. 4. *For a very thick (when refrigerated) caramel sauce use 1/4 teaspoon glucomannan powder.
