scd caramel sauce

A smooth, sweet, velvety caramel sauce made with only 3 specific carbohydrate diet “legal” ingredients and only 6 grams of natural sugar?! Dreams do come true…

RUN (not walk- this is way too exciting) to your kitchen, grab a small pot, coconut oil or ghee, cashew butter, & honey to whip up my new favorite sauce to drizzle over everything! Some of my favorite recipes to pair this sauce with include:

This sauce is also just really good to have stored in the fridge to pair with fresh fruit for a fun sweet snack!

One of my most missed foods since I’ve started following the specific carbohydrate diet has been a good caramel. A perfect pairing with crisp apples in the fall or on top a thick banana smoothie in the summer- the caramel opportunities are endless. I really love to drizzle it on top of my fudgy flourless avocado brownies!

How to Make a Healthy Caramel Sauce

Step 1: Combine the coconut oil (or ghee), cashew butter, & honey in a small pot.

Step 2: Heat the pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the coconut oil is melted

Step 3: Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture in the pot to a food processor. Blend on high for about a minute, the sauce should be very smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Eat by the spoon OR drizzle it on top of brownies, apples, cookies… the list goes on!
