3-Ingredient Sugar-Free Caramel Candy: Sweet, But Low-Carb!
This easy-to-make caramel candy is a perfect treat if you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without the carbs! With only 3 ingredients, it’s quick, delicious, and perfect for anyone following a low-carb or keto diet.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup powdered erythritol (or another preferred sugar substitute)
Instructions:
- Melt the butter and cream: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Sweeten the mixture: Add the powdered erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute) into the butter and cream mixture. Stir constantly until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Simmer and thicken: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired caramel consistency. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent it from burning.
- Cool the candy: Once the caramel has thickened, remove it from heat. Let it cool slightly before pouring it into a parchment-lined pan or silicone mold.
- Set the candy: Allow the caramel to cool completely at room temperature, then place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to harden.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, cut the caramel into small pieces and enjoy! These low-carb caramels are sweet, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgence.
