- 1 cup of Xylitol
- ½ cup of Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup of Heavy Cream
How to Make Sugar-Free Keto Caramel Sauce
This easy keto caramel sauce recipe comes together in just a few simple steps:
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine xylitol, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
- Simmer and Thicken: Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it simmers and thickens. This process takes about 20-30 minutes, resulting in a beautiful light brown color.
- Cool and Whisk: Remove the saucepan from the heat and continue whisking for another 5 minutes. This helps the sauce to thicken further and develop its rich, smooth texture.
- Store and Enjoy: Pour the warm caramel sauce into a jar. Enjoy it warm, or let it cool and store in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken even more when chilled.
Tips for the Perfect Keto Caramel Sauce
- Avoid Over-Stirring: Once the sauce is off the heat, resist the urge to stir it too much. Stirring can introduce air, leading to crystallization. If crystallization occurs, reheat the sauce gently to melt the crystals.
- Choose the Right Sweetener: We’ve found that xylitol works best for this recipe. While other sweeteners like Swerve or monk fruit sweeteners may seem tempting, they may not yield the desired results.
- Serving Suggestions: This versatile keto caramel sauce is delicious, drizzled over keto ice cream, stirred into bulletproof coffee, or used as a topping for various keto-friendly treats.

Can you use the swerve sugar in place of the Xylitol?
hello Christina, no sorry Swerve won’t work, we tried that and various other sweeteners.
Hi do you think this would work with monkfruit sweetener instead of xylitol?
Hi Shelly we tried various sweeteners and only Xylitol worked, we, however, did not try Monk Fruit so we don’t know. if you try it let us know how it turns out.
Absolutely fabulous! I honestly worried that this would be another Keto ‘it’s not so bad, but it’s not great’ recipes, but it is totally delicious. It’s my birthday on Monday and I’ve made this as a drizzle for my birthday cheesecake and I am over the moon. Thank you so much.
Happy Birthday Tamara! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
