Keto Caramel Sauce
Description
The Keto Caramel Sauce recipe begins by melting coconut oil with allulose, coconut cream, and vanilla extract over medium-low heat. Once small bubbles appear, the mixture is simmered for several minutes while whisking regularly to thicken. The resulting sauce reaches a consistency that coats the back of a spoon and will firm further as it cools. For a salted caramel variation, a pinch of sea salt is added during cooking. This version uses coconut cream for richness and can be adapted by substituting heavy cream and butter for a traditional keto caramel. Sweetener options include allulose primarily, but alternatives such as Bocha Sweet, xylitol, or powdered erythritol blends can be used bearing in mind texture differences. The sauce yields about a third of a cup and serves six, with about 1.7g net carbs per tablespoon.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼-1/2 cup allulose 50-100g, to taste ***see notes, granulated
- ½ cup coconut cream 120ml (the thick part from a can of coconut milk)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Salted caramel
- pinch of salt sea salt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a saucepan. Melt on a medium/ low heat until bubbles start to appear.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 - 8 minutes, stirring regularly with a balloon whisk, until slightly thick and the caramel coats the back of a spoon.
- When the caramel is to your liking (bearing in mind it will thicken more as it cools) take it off the heat and fill into a jar.
Notes
- The sauce makes roughly one-third cup and serves six, with approximately 1.7g net carbs per tablespoon.
- Cooking time affects thickness: 5–7 minutes yields a runnier sauce, 7–10 minutes produces a thicker caramel.
- Alternative sweeteners like Bocha Sweet or xylitol can be used, though allulose produces the smoothest caramel.
- Powder erythritol-based sweeteners, especially golden sugar replacements like Swerve Gold or Lakanto Gold, require powdering before use and may recrystallize as the sauce cools.
- For a traditional keto caramel, replace coconut cream with heavy whipping cream and coconut oil with butter; preparation remains the same.
- Adding ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon blackstrap molasses deepens caramel color if desired.
- Chill coconut milk cans overnight to separate coconut cream for use in this recipe.
- UK and European cooks can find allulose from online retailers like iHerb.
