    This Keto salted caramel sauce is so easy to make you won't believe it!  I recently updated and improved the recipe using a combination of brown monk fruit /allulose and crystalized allulose. This really helps give it a texture and flavor that is more like traditional caramel sauce.

    Is Salted Caramel Sauce Keto?

    Traditional caramel sauce is loaded with sugary carbs. By replacing sugar with allulose and monk fruit, a sauce that's typically off limits on Keto or low carb diets become an excellent sauce for your favorite Keto dessert.

    What are the Carbs in Keto Caramel Sauce?

    There's only 1 net carb per serving in this Keto caramel sauce. If you compare that to the approximate 25 grams of carbs per serving in traditional caramel sauce. Talk about a huge carb saver!

    What You Can Make with Salted Caramel Sauce

    • Salted Caramel Cheesecake Mousse
    • Salted Caramel Collagen Muffins
    • Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars
    • Salted Caramel Cookies

    How to Fix Lumpy Keto Caramel Sauce

    Before adding the ingredients to the sauce pan, be sure and break up any lumps. If it's still lumpy while cooking, just keep whisking and stirring. As it heats, the lumps will diminish. If there are some remaining, you can pour it through a strainer to remove them.

      OMG, this is DELICIOUS! This is the first time I've made caramel ever, and it turned out great! I needed to turn up the temperature on my stove, and because I started at a lower temp, it took nearly an hour (!), but I know better next time, don't I? Just like Werther's!

      Hi Julianne,
      I haven't tried this yet but want to but wondering if xylitol would work in place of allulose as we don't have that here in Ontario?
      Thank you..

        I do not use xylitol in any of my recipes because it is extremely toxic to dogs, so I can't say it would work the same.

      I made this a little over a week ago and it had great taste. it didn't thicken up as much as I liked, and I kept it on the stove to try and thicken. either way, it's still good. my question is will it last longer than a week. I forgot it was in there and I don't want to waste it. thank you . peace be with you.

        I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have never kept any longer than a few days in the fridge, mostly because I use it up. I am sure it could go a day or two past a week but taste it first, before adding to anything.

      Can I use 1/2 classic monkfruit instead of the 1/2 cup allulose?

      Reply

        January 21, 2023 at 11:02 am

        Allulose is about 70% times as sweet as sugar, where monk fruit is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, so you would not use the same amount. If you want to use a different sweetener than the allulose, make sure to always check the correct conversion.

        I have not used coconut sugar in this so I cannot say for sure.

      OMG! I did have to cook mine for almost 40 minutes but it was sooooo worth it. I have some keto vanilla ice cream I made that lacks sweetness because I just didn’t add enough sweetener and it’s really blah trying to eat vanilla ice cream without any sweetness so this will do the trick on top of it! Thank you so much!

      Thank you so so much for this recipe, it’s absolutely delicious!! I spent so much time tasting it along the way (and after it was done), I was too full to make the Dalgona coffee I was going to try it in. LoL

      This is absolutely delicious. I am such a caramel freak and this is perfect. You would never know it's not sugar based. My only problem was that it didn't thicken up enough. I think I was afraid to burn it so I may have not have let it simmer enough. Thanks so much!

        Thanks Ginnie! I too, am a caramel freak 😂 You can lower the temp and cook it a little longer, that should thicken it up more, without burning it 🙂
