Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or allulose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to brown slightly and smell nutty, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the erythritol and continue stirring until dissolved.
- Pour Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and turns a light caramel color.
- Finish: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool slightly before using. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
Notes:
- For a smoother texture, use allulose instead of erythritol to avoid crystallization.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and reheat gently before serving.
