Caramel Sauce (keto)
8 servings // 104 calories, 1.42 net carbs

1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia glycerite (add slowly, tasting)
1/4 teaspoon LorAnn Oils caramel flavor
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 tablespoons water

For Salted Caramel Sauce:
1/2 teaspoon additional kosher salt or sea salt

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, Swerve, and Bocha Sweet. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes (be careful not to burn it).

Remove from heat and add cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously. Sprinkle with xanthan gum and whisk vigorously to combine. Add salt. Return mixture to heat and boil 1 more minute. Let cool to lukewarm and stir in water until well combined.
For salted caramel, simply stir in additional salt at the end.
The sauce can be stored in the fridge for a week or so and gently reheated in the microwave or saucepan to make it pourable again.
