Gourmet Zero-Carb Salted Caramel Fluff
Prep time: 5 minutes | Chill time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
1 cup Cold Water or Unsweetened Almond Milk (Almond milk adds <1g carb, use water for true zero-carb)
1 scoop (approx. 30g) Salted Caramel Whey Protein Isolate (Ensure it is a 0g carb brand)
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (This is the secret to the massive volume and airy texture!)
1-2 tbsp Zero-Calorie, Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Syrup (like Torani or Jordan's Skinny Syrups)
A pinch of Coarse Flaky Sea Salt (for topping)
Optional for extra richness: 1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream (adds healthy fats, keeping it keto-friendly)
Instructions
Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add the cold water/almond milk, protein powder, sugar-free caramel syrup, and xanthan gum.
The First Whip: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, start beating on low speed for about 1 minute until everything is combined and starts to thicken slightly.
Crank Up the Volume: Turn the mixer up to high speed. Whip continuously for 3 to 5 minutes. You will watch it magically expand, trapping air until it fills the bowl with a thick, glossy, marshmallow-like fluff.
The Gourmet Finish: Spoon the fluff into your serving dish or container as seen in Drizzle a little extra sugar-free caramel syrup over the top and sprinkle with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt.
Chill and Set: Pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes (or the fridge for 20). This chills it to perfection and gives it that ice-cream-adjacent, ultra-luxurious texture.
