Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Whisk the allulose and water together in a small saucepan until no dry allulose is left and you have a smooth, even slurry. 0:29
- Set over medium heat and whisk now and then for 3–4 minutes, until the allulose dissolves and it starts to bubble. Then stop whisking; just swirl the pan if crystals form on the sides. 0:50
- Clip on a candy thermometer and cook to 165°C (330°F). It turns amber at about 150°C (300°F) and then climbs fast, so watch it closely. 1:13
- Turn off the heat, remove the thermometer and whisk in the butter a piece at a time; it will foam up. 1:40
- Whisk in the vanilla (and bourbon, if using). 2:05
- Take the pan right off the heat and whisk in the cream and a pinch of salt until smooth. 2:36
- Cool for 10–15 minutes, pour into a jar and chill for at least an hour; it looks thin at first but thickens in the fridge. 2:54
Tip. Keeps in the fridge for at least two weeks; the cook expects a month or more. Warm gently to make it pourable. Great over keto ice cream or cheesecake, with a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Vitamin A4%
37 µg a serve, mostly from salted butter (56%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin E1%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from salted butter (64%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin B121%
0 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (61%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Omega-31%
0 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (57%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Potassium0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (81%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Calcium0%
3.4 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (78%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Iron0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (84%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Magnesium0%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (79%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Zinc0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (74%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin K0%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from salted butter (62%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin B60%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (100%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Selenium0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (80%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
