How to make low carb salted caramel sauce

Introduction

If you're looking for a quick, easy recipe that can be made in just 15 minutes, this one's for you. It's also low carb and keto friendly, making it the perfect dessert for anyone on a diet. You'll only need four ingredients to make this salted caramel sauce recipe: butter, sugar substitute (I used allulose), heavy cream and vanilla extract. I love using salted caramel in desserts (especially on Wonder Monday cheesecakes) because it adds an extra bit of flavor without adding any carbs or sugar! If you have some leftover butter from making your favorite keto bread recipe, then this is the perfect way to use up that last bit left over! If not then don't worry because I've included substitutions below if you don't have any stashed away somewhere in your kitchen cabinets!
