A sticky-sweet homemade sugar-free low carb caramel sauce. All you need is 4 ingredients and 20 minutes. Measure the first three ingredients together in a small pot or saucepan and whisk over medium heat until combined. Bring it to a boil. Watch the heat carefully and turn it down just as the caramel mixture begins to crawl up the sides of the pot.
Melt the butter in a small pan and let it cook until golden brown. This will give the caramel deeper flavor. Pour in heavy cream and stir until combined. Lower the heat and simmer for a minute. Add in sweetener of choice, we used erythritol.
But it did! The low carb caramel turned out so tasty! The flavor, it turns out comes mostly from the butter and how golden brown you let it turn. The deeper brown, the richer the flavor of the caramel. Careful, though, don’t let it get too brown, it’ll taste a little burned.
Store: Keep low carb caramel sauce in the refrigerator. I’ve made a double batch before and had it last for weeks that way without a problem. Reheat: Caramel will solidify in the fridge, so you’ll want to reheat it before serving. The best way to do this is on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently.
