✨ Recipe Ingredients
To make this zero carb, carnivore friendly caramel sauce you will need:
- 4oz (120g) Gjetost Cheese (I use this one)
- 3.5oz (100g) Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
👨🍳 How To Make
Follow these steps:
Step 1
Place a pan over low heat. Put the cheese and heavy whipping cream inside. Continue stirring until melted.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and mix.
Step 3
Remove from the heat, transfer to a dish, and store in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave and stir occasionally before serving.
💡Tips
1. Enhancing the Flavor with Vanilla
Vanilla extract is a key ingredient that elevates the flavor profile of this caramel sauce. It adds a subtle hint of warmth and depth that complements the rich, caramelized notes of the Gjetost cheese.
When adding the vanilla extract, be sure to use a high-quality, pure vanilla extract rather than artificial vanilla flavoring.
2. Achieving the Perfect Consistency
To create a smooth and silky caramel sauce, it is important to melt the Gjetost cheese and heavy whipping cream together slowly and evenly. Use a low heat setting on your stovetop and stir the mixture continuously to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
As the cheese melts, it may initially appear grainy or separated from the cream. Keep stirring patiently until the mixture becomes homogeneous and develops a glossy sheen.
