Gingerbread Caramel Dessert Sauce

About

This easy low carb caramel sauce is rich with warming festive spices and makes a great addition to your Keto Christmas desserts. Our Keto gingerbread caramel sauce is prepared with smooth almond butter, ground ginger, cinnamon, coconut oil, almond milk and some low carb sweetener, then simply simmered until thick and golden. Perfect for drizzling over festive bakes, low carb pancakes, or Keto cheesecakes.

Can I Use Coconut Milk?

We have used almond milk to provide the creamy base for our Keto caramel sauce. You may use an alternative plant-based milk if desired and an alternative nut butter. The nut butter is a crucial element of the recipe as this helps create the thick caramel consistency, so this should not be omitted.

Can I Make This Without the Spices?

This versatile Keto sauce recipe can easily be adapted in terms of flavor. If you prefer a plain caramel sauce, you can omit the spices. You can even add more sweetener as desired. You could also use a pumpkin spice mix or make a salted caramel by adding a good pinch of sea salt to the sauce. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Ingredients

2 teaspoon ginger, ground
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup almond milk, vanilla or other flavors, unsweetened
⅓ cup 100% pure erythritol by now
⅓ cup almond butter, unsalted
⅛ teaspoon salt, sea salt
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg ground

Instructions

Add the erythritol, coconut oil and 1/2 a cup of almond milk to a small saucepan. Bring up to a gentle boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir well, melting the oil. You may add more sweetener if desired for a sweetener caramel.
Add the almond butter, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt to the pan. Stir well, cooking gently until smooth and thick. Add the remaining almond milk a little at a time, stirring constantly.
Continue to simmer and stir until the mixture starts to thicken and turn to a pourable golden caramel. The mixture will be very hot, but you can carefully taste and adjust the spices and sweetness as needed. You may also add more milk to thin if required. Served over your preferred Keto sweet treats!
