- ¾ 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup MariGold Allulose
- Pinch of salt (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Add the heavy cream and MariGold Allulose to a medium saucepan and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, watching carefully because it can bubble up quickly.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and develops a beautiful golden caramel color.
- Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Recipe Notes
Allulose can brown more quickly than regular sugar, so keep an eye on the sauce as it cooks. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your pan and stovetop.
Enjoy it warm for easy drizzling, or refrigerate promptly in a clean, covered container. Rewarm gently when needed. Because this sauce contains dairy, keep it refrigerated rather than storing it at room temperature.

MariGold ingredients used in this recipe:
From homemade caramel sauce to your favorite baked treats, MariGold Allulose makes it easier to enjoy the sweet things in life without all the added sugar.
MariGold Allulose is a natural sugar without the sugar spike.
Unlike regular sugar, the way it’s processed by the human body makes it an optimal choice for many people looking to live a healthier lifestyle.
Allulose is considered a rare sugar, which is sugar that can be found in nature in small quantities. It can be found naturally in fruits like raisins, figs, and jackfruit.
Although it’s about 70% as sweet as the sugar you know and love (but try to stay away from), allulose tastes, feels and cooks just like regular sugar.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about MariGold Whey Isolate Protein Powder
Does caramel sauce made with allulose taste like regular caramel?
Allulose has a clean, sugar-like sweetness and browns beautifully when heated. Combined with heavy cream, it creates a rich, golden sauce with a creamy texture and caramel-like flavor. It may taste a little different from traditional caramel made with granulated sugar, but it’s still delicious!
Is this allulose caramel sauce sugar-free?
This recipe contains no added sugar. However, heavy cream naturally contains a small amount of lactose, which is a type of sugar. That’s why we describe it as a no-added-sugar caramel sauce rather than completely sugar-free.
Is caramel sauce made with allulose keto-friendly?
Yes, this recipe can fit into many low-carb or keto eating plans. Allulose contributes very few calories and has minimal impact on blood sugar, although heavy cream does contribute some carbohydrates. As always, portion sizes matter.
Why does allulose caramelize so quickly?
Allulose participates in browning reactions more readily than regular table sugar, which helps it develop that golden color during cooking. It can also darken quickly, so watch the sauce closely to prevent burning.
Can I use this caramel sauce in coffee?
Absolutely! Stir a small amount into hot coffee or a latte, or gently warm the sauce before drizzling it over an iced coffee drink. It’s a delicious way to enjoy caramel flavor without adding traditional sugar.
