Maple Salted Caramel Sauce {THM-S, Low Carb, Sugar Free}
A rich, buttery caramel that is both salty and sweet, with a hint of maple.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 6 Tablespoons Xylitol
or 5 Tablespoons Gentle Sweet
- 1 Tablespoon Maple Flavor
- ¼ Teaspoon Mineral Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream
- ¼ - ½ Teaspoon Glucomannan "Gluccie"
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt butter and xylitol (or Gentle Sweet) over medium high heat.
- When sweetener has completely melted, continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Add maple flavoring, mineral salt and heavy whipping cream.
- Sprinkle glucomannan into the sauce and whisk well.
- Continue to simmer for 1-2 more minutes, still stirring continuously.
- The sauce should start to thicken a bit, but it will still be quite thin.
- It will thicken more as it cools.
Notes
This recipe does not make a large amount - only about ½ cup. If you want this sauce for a larger dessert, you may want to double it!
If your caramel hardens in the fridge, just reheat it for a few moments (30 seconds if using the microwave), give it a good stir, and it should be good to go.
