Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼-1/2 cup granulated allulose 50-100g, to taste ***see notes
  • ½ cup coconut cream 120ml (the thick part from a can of coconut milk)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Salted caramel
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a saucepan. Melt on a medium/ low heat until bubbles start to appear.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  • Makes approximately ⅓ of a cup. Serves 6.
  • Net carbs per serve: 1.7g for 1 tablespoon.
  • A runny caramel will take about 5 - 7 minutes to cook and a thicker caramel 7 - 10 minutes. 
  • A runny caramel will take about 5 - 7 minutes to cook and a thicker caramel 7 - 10 minutes. 
  • ***Bocha Sweet or xylitol are also good for caramel, although allulose does give the smoothest result. The next best option are powdered erythritol based sweeteners. Go for a brown sugar replacement like Swerve gold or a golden monk fruit sweetener blend such as Lakanto gold for that caramel taste. You'll have to powder it before using. It will re-crystallise a little once the caramel cools. 
  • Traditional keto caramel sauce: Replace the coconut cream with heavy whipping cream and use 3 tablespoons of butter instead of the coconut oil. The recipe steps remain the same. The nutrition changes to 1.5g net carbs and 127 calories per serving.
  • Add ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon blackstrap molasses for a darker caramel colour.
  • NOTE: To get the thick and the liquid part of a can of coconut milk to separate, simply place the can into the fridge overnight. 
  • UK and European readers: you can purchase allulose online, for example via iherb.
