This pleasant sauce is fast and fairly simple. It comes collectively in underneath quarter-hour, and is sufficiently thick and gooey: similar to caramel sauce ought to be!
Notes: This will maintain up for re-use within the fridge, however like most caramels, it tends to harden underneath refrigeration. As with most issues, it’s finest when used instantly, however I did record directions for reheating and reconstituting it for those who do want to relax it for some time.
I examined completely with Swerve Brown because the sweetener, and since it’s a little totally different than most brown sweeteners, it’s the one I like to recommend as a result of I do know it really works. If you’d wish to attempt a distinct brown sweetener, be at liberty, however it could not end up precisely the identical.
If you can not supply a caramel flavored MCT powder, that’s OK. You can get the identical taste and fatty increase by utilizing plain MCT powder and a few caramel extract.
