This gooey keto salted caramel sauce recipe is easy to make, thick, creamy but pourable, has a deep rich caramel flavor, and tastes just like the real thing!
1 ½tsp.Molassesoptional but very highly recommended
½CupHeavy Whipping Cream
2tsp.Pure Vanilla
⅛teaspoonSea Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until melted. Once melted, bring to a low simmer. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until the butter is browned, stirring occassionally and be sure not to let it burn!
Add the heavy cream, allulose, and molasses. Then, turn the heat down to a low simmer and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until a deep golden brown and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Again, be careful that it doesn't burn!
Remove from heat and stir in the pure vanilla and sea salt. Add more sea salt to taste, if desired. Caramel will slightly thicken as it cools.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for several weeks. When ready to eat, I recommend reheating for the best taste and texture. To reheat, heat on the stove over LOW heat. If you heat it too quickly it may get "shocked" and separate! If you notice it starting to separate, sometimes it can be salvaged by processing in a food processor or blending in a blender until smooth.

Notes
Nutrition info includes molasses.
If you prefer your desserts on the less-sweet side, feel free to slightly reduce the sweeteners.
If you're worried about adding molasses to a Keto recipe, keep in mind that molasses is considered a low glycemic sugar. One teaspoon only adds 5 net carbs to the entire batch! It's also rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, chromium, magnesium, calcium, vitamin b6, and more!
