👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Keto sweeteners don’t behave exactly like traditional sugars, so there’s a little trial and error with them, and you might need different types for different applications. For example, monk fruit is great in a lot of recipes, but I wouldn’t recommend it here. If you’re not a fan of Brown Swerve, allulose is the next best option. It behaves more like traditional white sugar, and it maintains softness well.Note that some keto sweeteners crystallize as they cool. Brown Swerve is one of those, since it’s erythritol-based. You might notice a slight graininess to the caramel sauce if you’re eating it very cool or cold (like if you pour it over ice cream). That texture should go away when the keto caramel sauce is warm, though. To avoid it entirely, use allulose instead.If the caramel sauce separates while on the stove, your heat was likely too high. Remove the saucepan from the stove, let it cool slightly, then whisk it vigorously to reincorporate the ingredients.
