For All Keto Dessert Lovers!

Keto Friendly RecipeI’m a firm believer in enjoying the foods you love. If you’ve got a soft spot for desserts like I do, it’s fun to adapt them to your healthier lifestyle. Even on a low carb diet, your choices for dessert are endless if you’ve got the right tools and some creativity! You can still indulge while being completely keto.

Some of my baking must-haves include

  • erythritol – a sugar alcohol naturally derived from plant sources, it is 70% as sweet as sugar and is 0 carb! It also doesn’t cause an insulin spike, which is important for hormone balance and weight loss.
  • almond flour – made of 100% ground up almonds, it takes the place of regular flour, though not as good at rising. Still, it has about 10% of the carbs as regular flour, so it works for us!
  • coconut oil – a keto must-have. Full of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which are an excellent source for fuel for our bodies.

A combination of these plus butter, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla and a few other already keto-friendly ingredients can result in some amazing treats!

Low Carb Caramel


One thing I never thought I’d be enjoying when on a keto diet is caramel! Caramel is essentially cooked sugar which is definitely not keto-approved- no white sugar allowed! And while I had erythritol doing all my low carb sweetening for me, I wasn’t sure if it could give me the same caramel results as table sugar. But it did!

The low carb caramel turned out so tasty! The flavor, it turns out comes mostly from the butter and how golden brown you let it turn. The deeper brown, the richer the flavor of the caramel. Careful, though, don’t let it get too brown, it’ll taste a little burned.  So excited to use this low carb caramel on low carb ice cream or my favorite keto lava cake!

To take this caramel to the next level, consider adding an optional pump or two of Torani Sugar-free Caramel Syrup! It’ll sweeten and add caramel flavor without adding any carbs.

Yum!

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a small pan and let it cook until golden brown. This will give the caramel deeper flavor.
    Cook butter until golden brown
  2. Pour in heavy cream and stir until combined. Lower the heat and simmer for a minute.
  3. Add in sweetener of choice, we used erythritol. Let that dissolve for a minute. Add a pinch of salt as well. If you’d like to make salted caramel, add more salt.
  4. Let it cook until you see it getting thicker and stickier.
  5. If you see your butter and cream are separating, you can pour the mixture into a Nutribullet and blend to help them combine.
  6. Pour the caramel into a container, preferably glass, and continue to stir while it cools and thickens more to ensure your sauce is not two layered.
  7. To use right away, pour over your dessert of choice! You may also refrigerate the caramel for later use, but it will harden and will need to be soften to be pourable/dippable.
