Keto caramel sauce

This caramel sauce is wonderful when used for my 6 layer bars, poured over my sundae, or used to dip berries in! So easy and versatile (and delicious!)

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup butter
6 tbsp Swerve Sweetener
2 tbsp Sukrin Gold brown sugar replacement OR 2 tbsp.coconut sugar OR 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses* OR additional Swerve**
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
2 tbsp water

 FOR SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

 1/2 tsp additional kosher salt or sea salt

 DIRECTIONS

 In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, Swerve, and brown sugar replacement of choice. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes (be careful not to burn it).Remove from heat and add cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously. Sprinkle with xanthan gum and whisk vigorously to combine. Add salt. Return mixture to heat and boil 1 more minute. Let cool to lukewarm and stir in water until well combined. For salted caramel, simply stir in additional salt at the end. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for a week or so (I've actually stored mine for several weeks). Just gently reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan to make it pourable again.

 Serves 8.

 *Sukrin Gold is a brown sugar replacement available online. If you use coconut sugar or molasses, you will add additional carbs.
**You can use all Swerve for this. However, your end result will be lighter and will recrystallize more upon cooling.

Olive oil cake with chocolate ganache

The olive oil in this cake makes it super moist, which is hard to achieve when working with coconut flour. Infused olive oils work wonderful in this cake; I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I will substitute into the recipe sometimes. The chocolate ganache is quick and easy, but tastes sublime! Enjoy! 1 cup olive oil 3/4 cup Coconut flour 3/4 cup erythritol 6 large eggs 2 tsp Baking powder 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp Pink Salt INSTRUCTIONS Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Beat eggs to double the  original volume in another bowl. Add olive oil, and vanilla extract to eggs and combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet as you combine. Pour into a greased pan (I used a 9 inch springform pan). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (until edges will have browned and toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool completely, then cover in chocolate ganache.  Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cre...
