Recipe Ingredients

For the Caramel

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup Powdered Allulose
• 1/3 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 tsp Flaky Sea Salt

For the Brownies

• 1/2 cup Melted Butter
• 4 oz Sugar Free Dark Chocolate, melted
• 2/3 cup Powdered Allulose
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2/3 cup Almond Flour
• 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• Flaky Sea Salt, for topping

How To Make

Step 1

Make the caramel first: melt butter in a small saucepan, add powdered allulose, and cook 3 to 4 minutes until deep amber. Carefully whisk in the heavy cream and simmer 2 minutes.

Step 2

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and flaky sea salt. Pour into a small bowl and chill 30 minutes until thickened to a spoonable consistency.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper.

Step 4

Whisk together the melted butter, melted chocolate, powdered allulose, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Fold in the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt until a thick batter forms. Spread half into the prepared pan.

Step 6

Dollop most of the caramel evenly across the batter, leaving a small amount for drizzling. Top with the remaining brownie batter and smooth carefully.

Step 7

Drizzle the reserved caramel on top and swirl gently. Bake for 24 to 27 minutes until set around the edges but still fudgy in the center.

Step 8

Cool completely, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and slice into squares.

Tips

Get the Caramel Color Right

Allulose caramel goes from perfect to burned fast, so keep your eyes on it the whole time. You want a deep amber color, kind of like dark honey. If it starts to smell bitter or turns really dark brown, it’s gone too far.

Also, allulose caramelizes at a lower temperature than regular sugar, so it will reach that amber stage quicker than you might expect. Stay close and stir often.

One more thing – when you add the heavy cream, the mixture will bubble up aggressively. Take the pan off the heat before you pour it in, then whisk it together. This makes it much easier to control.

Chill the Caramel Until It’s Thick Enough

The caramel needs to be thick enough to hold its shape when you dollop it on the brownie batter. If it’s still too runny, it’ll sink straight to the bottom and you won’t get that stuffed layer in the middle.

After 30 minutes in the fridge, check it by scooping some with a spoon. It should slowly drop off the spoon, not pour off. If it’s still too thin, give it another 10 to 15 minutes.

If you over-chill it and it gets too firm, just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir it. It’ll loosen back up.

Melt the Chocolate Gently

Sugar free dark chocolate burns easier than regular chocolate. I’ve found that the best way to melt it is in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each one. It usually takes about 3 rounds to get it fully melted and smooth.

Make sure the melted chocolate and the melted butter are both warm but not hot when you combine them. If one of them is too hot, it can make the mixture grainy or cause the eggs to scramble slightly when you add them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use erythritol instead of powdered allulose for the caramel?

Allulose is really the best choice here because it caramelizes just like regular sugar, which is what gives the caramel its deep amber color and smooth texture. Erythritol does not caramelize the same way and tends to crystallize, so your caramel could end up gritty instead of silky.

If allulose is not available to you, a monk fruit and allulose blend is the next best option. Just make sure whatever sweetener you pick is in powdered form so it dissolves easily.
