Ingredients
56 g grass-fed butter salted or unsalted*
1/4-1/2 cup allulose or xylitol**
118 ml heavy whipping cream
1/4-3/4 teaspoon kosher salt to taste
1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses optional**

Instructions
1. Add butter to a small saucepan over medium/low heat and simmer, stirring every so often, until fully
browned (about 5 minutes). Add in the sweetener, heavy cream and salt (lower amount, see notes), stirring
until fully combined. Add in the molasses (optional), and stir briefly until just combined.
2. Simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes (don't stir at all!), taste for seasoning and pour into a glass
container of choice. Your caramel should be sticky and thick, but still totally pourable. Use warm or allow
to cool completely, and refrigerate for roughly a week. The caramel will thicken up in the fridge (as does
regular dulce de leche), so either bring it back to room temperature or heat it up with a little more heavy
cream (or say almond milk!) to thin it out a bit.

Recipe Notes
*I looove salted caramel, and using salted butter adds an incredible depth that you simply don't get by just
adding salt. Just be sure to taste for seasoning, as you may not need to add more salt (varies from brand to
brand!).
**Please see section on sweeteners for full deets! How much sweetener? Now this is the question. Traditional
caramel uses about 1 cup of sugar, but in my opinion 1/3 cup of sweetener for keto palates is more than enough.
As allulose is 30% less sweet than sugar (and xylitol), I did 1/2 cup (but you can probably do with just 1/3 cup
for a lightly sweetened caramel). With xylitol I tried with 1/4 and 1/3 cup and they both worked great (just
depends how sweet you like it, and what you're using it for). Keto sweet buds are all over the place guys, but the
neat thing here is that you can adjust to taste!
Please note that a batch yields roughly 3/4 cup, and nutrition facts were estimated per tablespoon. The blackstrap
molasses adds 0.4g net carbs a serving (i.e. half the amount of sugar of a strawberry!).
