WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE KETO CARAMEL
To make this keto caramel you only need 3 ingredients and about 20 minutes of time. Here’s what you will need:
Heavy cream: heavy cream is great for this recipe because it’s low in carbs and makes the most creamy caramel sauce.
Allulose: after testing the recipe with multiple sweeteners, we’ve found allulose is the only sugar to mimic traditional granulated sugar when making caramel. It caramelizes very well and makes a super creamy texture with no after taste.
Vanilla: Use good quality vanilla and be sure to avoid vanilla extracts with added sugars.
HOW TO MAKE KETO CARAMEL SAUCE
To make the keto caramel sauce, simply whisk the heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla in a large pot or deep pan on high heat until it begins to turn golden and has reduced in quantity by half.
This step will take a while and it will feel as if the caramel will never turn gold but rest assured as soon as it does begin to caramelize, the process will speed up much faster.
TIPS & TRICKS TO SPEEDING UP THE CARMALIZATION

Use high heat. Use the highest burner you can find ad the high heat will speed up the caramelization.
Be sure to keep whisking. Keep an eye on the caramel at all times so it doesn’t bubble over and cause a mess!
