Toffee Caramel Sauce

I use Whey Low sugar substitute which caramelizes like sugar, which is why this recipe works. It is oh so easy and OH SO GOOD - over ice cream, over cake, over anything!

Toffee Caramel Sauce

2 sticks of unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups sugar substitute (I use Whey Low)
1 pint heavy cream

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium to high heat, then add sugar. Stir frequently while cooking until the mixture reaches a deep caramel color. The butter and sugar may seperate at this point, don't worry if it does.

Remove from the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring constantly. WARNING: In this step while adding the cream the mixture will bubble up and release VERY HOT steam. I always wear oven mitts, keep my face away and use a long handled whisk so I don't get scorched.

After cream is added, pour the sauce into a container with a lid. Let cool, then refrigerate. You can use cold, at room temperature or reheat before using.

Enjoy!
