- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Be careful as it may bubble up.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the caramel thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. The caramel will thicken further as it cools.
- Let the keto caramel cool for a few minutes in the saucepan before transferring it to a heatproof container or jar. Allow it to cool completely before using or storing in the refrigerator.
