Instructions

Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely, ensuring it doesn’t brown or burn.
Dissolve the Sweetener: Add the powdered erythritol and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until it dissolves completely and the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
Add Heavy Cream: Slowly pour in the unsweetened heavy cream while whisking constantly to blend all the ingredients smoothly together.
Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and achieves a caramel-like consistency.
Finish the Sauce: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor profile.
Cool and Store: Let the sauce cool slightly; it will thicken further as it cools. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and warm gently before serving.

Notes

Use powdered erythritol for the best texture; granulated may not dissolve as well.
Stir continuously to avoid burning the butter or sweetener.
This sauce pairs well with ice cream, coffee, and keto-friendly desserts.
Reheat gently to avoid separation.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
