Keto Caramel Candy (Chewy & Set)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup powdered allulose (best for candy texture)

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for salted caramel)


Instructions

  1. Prepare pan:
    Line a small loaf pan or silicone mold with parchment.

  2. Cook caramel:
    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and allulose together.

  3. Add cream:
    Slowly whisk in heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. Thicken:
    Simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thick and glossy.

  5. Stabilize:
    Remove from heat. Sprinkle in xanthan gum while whisking vigorously.

  6. Finish:
    Stir in vanilla and salt.

  7. Set:
    Pour into mold. Refrigerate 1–2 hours until firm.

  8. Cut & wrap once fully chilled.


Why Allulose Matters

  • Allulose caramelizes like sugar

  • No gritty cooling effect

  • Best choice for chewy keto candy

(Erythritol will harden or recrystallize)


Storage

  • Room temperature (cool climate): 3–4 days

  • Refrigerated: 2 weeks
