Keto Caramel Sauce - Only .1g Net Carbs per Tablespoon

I've been experimenting a lot with various keto sweeteners and have found that when it comes to caramel, allulose seems to be the way to go. Besides behaving a lot like sucrose in recipes, according to the International Food Information Council, allulose is not metabolized by the body and thus causes no increase in blood glucose or insulin. As a result, it does not count toward net carbs.

Because I know I'll get asked, the ice cream here is Rebel brand. I didn't have any homemade caramel-compatible flavors in the fridge.

[@renpilak6048]

Rebel ice cream is the best keto ice cream! Butter Pecan and Mint Chocolate are my most favorite!

[@VFRExplorer]

I find Nick's Keto Ice cream's texture and sweetness taste just as good as the "real" kind. The downside is that you have to order it online.

[@groovy-momma418]

@@VFRExplorer And Nick's is also pretty pricey. On their web site it's 9.99. I tried another brand and it had such a weird texture. I can't remember the brand, but I won't be eating that again. It had like a crumbling effect. I can't find rebel anywhere here in WA state. I'd like to try it. But I think I'll make my own.

[@kathy32850]

@@renpilak6048 I agree it is good but Enlightened is my preferred brand. Halo top is horrible imo.

[@irenefrom5248]

This morning I put my ice cream maker container in the freezer. I’ve tried, what feels like, every commercially available brands in 🇨🇦 and I’m out. The cost alone is a deterrent. I’m now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the BTK recipe….. ;)

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Allulose works superb for caramel - to the point where you really wont realize the difference. And salted butter is better than unsalted butter+salt (in case anyone asks)

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Just because someone else did it, doesnt mean it's a copy. There are only so many ways to do things - especially for something with essentially, 3 ingredients. I basically came up with the same recipe in my panna cotta video - it's really just a matter of keto-fying standard recipes. That's also the reason that I personally (and I think Steve is the same) DONT watch other cooking videos in our space.

[@RV-there-Yet]

@@foodiemomoffour8194 While your point is noted, there are only so many ways to make caramel- it consists of very few ingredients & the same basic cooking method/temps. No one is trying to reinvent the wheel - too late for that- yet many have various tread design, rubber components etc. As someone's who's been experimenting w/caramel sauce, candy, & others, I do enjoy hearing what combination of ingredients & methods work best for folks, along with any tweaks or tips each cook might share. Point being, not once did I heard this cook say that he had discovered caramel & how to make it. Perhaps its a matter of perspective, & its also just as informative to say something like; "Well done- this reminds me of so & so's version I came across a few years back. They used similar ingredients/method, except for the...." Instead your comment(s) come across as almost shaming, though I dont think that's your intent. There are literally hundreds of keto people w/caramel recipes on social media- & all are basically the same, w/a tweak here or different sweetener there, etc.~ who were each inspired by someone else's version, or just wanted to experiment in making low carb caramel.

[@charuscharm]

Can we use erythritol instead?

Alright Steve. Time to learn how to make allulose marshmallows and show us that too :)

I make Keto caramels with Allulose - but then I let it cool to 95 - 100 degrees and I throw in some Lily's 92% dark chocolate. For me, it makes a divine fudge.

Oh my! Caramel is one of my favorite flavors and textures. I've struggled to make a keto version. I always seem to end up burning it or it just turns into brown liquid. Thanks for making this, Steve. Just watching you enjoy it had my mouth watering! I guess it's time to pull out that ol' candy thermometer! : )

[@karronlaneNOLA]

oh geez steve, thanks for the know how. i haven't tried it yet but i can hardly wait!😀

[@shawnabeals9261]

Really impressed that this has no xanthan gum or other thickeners. That makes it stand out from ALL other keto caramel recipes! I actually have bourbon extract that I've been wondering what I might use it for... Apple sub...jicama, slice it about 1/4" thick after cutting it in half or quarters. Then you will need a multi cooker or instapot. 3 or 4 celestial seasonings apple spice teabags, water, and apple flavored MiO or the Walmart brand of crystal light has an apple flavored one (but you can only get it by ordering online and it contains aspartame). I normally use 1/2 to 2/3 packet of the ones that make 2 quarts or the equivalent by taste with the liquid MiO. That along with 2 large jicama (5-6" diameter) or 3 smaller ones. Slice them and put in the pot (my cooker is an aroma brand from Costco with capacity to make up to 10 cups cooked rice for an idea of the size and proportions) I normally layer the tea bags in between layers of jicama so there's some on the bottom. Mix the drink mix in some water probably 1 to 1.5 qts I'm guessing. Pour it over the jicama in the pot to cover probably at least 1/2" above (this is a guess). Mine has a steamer insert that goes on the top so I put that in to hold the jicama in the liquid. I use the rice cooking function. Sometimes more than one cycle depending on if they absorb the flavor well which usually depends on if the liquid is strong enough. The nice thing is that the jicama keeps it's crunch. I eat it with sliced sharp cheddar cheese because I used to like to eat apples this way. In reality I actually prefer the jicama over the taste of apples. In 3+ years of experimenting, I have never found a way to get the jicama completely soft. It always retains at least some crunch and I've tried multiple combinations of cooking methods in combination with freezing. Freezing helps it get softer but still has a little crunch in it even after freezing and various cooking methods. I have made my jicama apples in a real instapot once and it takes less time and they come out much more cooked. I felt like they were overcooked and almost had a browned taste. But I'm honestly not a fan of the instant pot after doing several recipes in them various times and seeing the trouble my sister and daughter have with theirs. So if you do this in an instapot I'd probably try the stream function at 1 minute and taste test, then run again if necessary. But it makes the best apple sub I've ever found trying different things including chayote squash, jicama, zucchini. I think if you want crunch, jicama is the best bet because you can infuse flavor using heat into it without losing the crunch! And yes, I realize the MiO has Splenda in it, so it's not really clean ingredients. I've tried a couple apple extract flavorings to no avail. They basically smell and taste like chemicals, nothing like apple...

[@cami3754]

I made the caramel sauce yesterday! Drizzled it on top of Keto vanilla ice cream. My husband and I enjoyed such a delicious desert after dinner!I I am going to make more Keto vanilla ice cream today. I tried a different caramel sauce recipe before, it came out bitter and ended in the garbage. I used 1 tsp vanilla extract and Doctor Murray allulose monk fruit sweetener. Since 1 cup of this sweetener weights 160 grams, I added more to obtain 205 grams. I was afraid to don't end up with an extra sweet sauce and I removed some of it. I don't know exactly how many grams I used, but I can estimate around 190 grams or so. Steve your caramel sauce is the best! I will not try another recipe. Thank you!

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm glad you like it. 🙂

[@alansawesomeketoworld4612]

Awesome recipe. Thinking about making lechan flan and this sauce would be prefect on it

[@mikemonson3790]

Best Carmel sauce I’ve tried yet. Great job!

[@barbarachen1428]

Thanks for doing caramel, Steve! I do a lot of candy (dipped chocolates and pb cups, mostly), and caramel and English toffee are a real challenge to make better than just "ok". Most recipe creators don't use thermometers and that drives me a little nuts. Sauce is one thing, but getting nice chewy caramel or hard toffee are a different level of difficulty. After a variety of successes/failures I mostly use Carolyn Ketchum's cheat method of xanthan gum to thicken for chewy candy. That plus the freezer for doing dipped chocolates. Not sure if her prescribed mixture of sweeteners is really necessary or a result of brand sponsorship. Looking forward to your next couple of caramel posts!

[@Paisteboy]

Great video Steve! I've made this many times and i still can't believe how much it's tastes like regular caramel. I may have to make another batch this weekend.

[@SeriousKeto]

I've done this recipe with a couple different brands of allulose. I've found that a couple of them have a slightly bitter after taste if you get up to 330F, which comes very quickly after hitting 300F. So I recommend pulling it off the heat once you hit 300F.

I am curious as to what would have happened if you took the caramel sauce up to the firm ball stage of candy. My regular caramel recipe calls for sugar, corn syrup, butter and heavy whipping cream. I was thinking of experimenting to make caramels, but I'm sure you will come up with a better recipe than I ever could. I can usually cook and bake really well, but for the most part I need to be following a recipe. I love that you make your own recipes. It is really inspiring!

I'm so glad you did this for me. I was just about to try and make a toffee using allulose. I had to cut down on a lot of carb intake and have been fascinated with alternative sugars for a long while. I've found allulose has been the most sugar like substance I've come across because it is sugar; at least derived from it. Now I need to find a good keto flour to use for doughs.
