Ingredients

71 grams salted butter (5 tablespoons. use high-quality butter, like grass-fed)
150 millileters heavy whipping cream (about ⅔ cup)
144 grams allulose sweetener (about ¾ a cup)
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat in a light-colored pan. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the butter starts to bubble up, and brown, and you smell a slightly nutty aroma. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
As soon as the butter is browned and off the heat, IMMEDIATELY add the heavy cream. This will cool off the butter and prevent it from burning.
Add allulose and salt and stir to combine. Once your mixture is combined, return to the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil (lightly bubbling), then reduce to low heat to simmer.
Allow the mixture to bubble and thicken, and don't stir for 10-15 minutes until the caramel thickens. When you drag a rubber spatula on the bottom of the pan, it should create a clear separation. Once thickened, remove it from the heat.
Once the caramel is off the heat, stir in the optional vanilla extract. It will bubble a bit, and deepen in color. Immediately remove from the pan and transfer to storage containers, as the residual heat will continue to cook the caramel. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Store in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks. Reheat slowly in the microwave, stirring between 15-second intervals of heating.

Notes

Always use allulose. Allulose is the only zero-calorie sweetener that acts like sugar and will not crystallize when it gets cold. Unfortunately, other keto sweeteners won't work for this recipe.
Add salt and sweetener to taste. Please adjust this recipe to suit your tastes.
Use high-quality ingredients. Sometimes we think that shortcuts in recipes can be just as tasty, but using the best ingredients will make all the difference here. There are only 5 ingredients, so make them count!
Don't leave the caramel alone. At all! Do not walk away from the caramel at any point. This is a recipe for disaster, as this recipe is all about timing, and it can go from "done" to "burnt" easily.
Use a light-colored pan. This will allow you to monitor the caramel the easiest. You will want to be able to see the bottom to ensure you're not burning anything.
