Has any one tried to drastically alter a caramel sauce? So the recipe calls for sugar, butter and heavy cream. Has anyone tried to make a caramel sauce with truvia and almond milk? I really like Duncan donuts Caramel iced lattes in the summer months and I am trying to come up with a diy for it to shave a bunch of calories and save some money too.

    I have thought about making a dulce de leche with the fat free sweetened condensed milk. It would probably be tasty with coffee! I am not sure how the calories would work out though. You could always just use less caramel.

    Torani makes a sf caramel syrup.

    Also, if you are really only concerned with calories and cost, Walden Farms. This gets pretty good reviews and, although I have not tasted this particular product, I like their other syrups. If you are more concerned about ingredients, as some people are, then this is probably not for you. I don't know where you live, but all of the grocery stores in my area carry at least a few of the Walden Farms products.

    Walden farms makes a 0 cal caramel sauce that is REALLY good (amazing actually way better than their other flavors). MyProtein US recently came out with a 0 cal butterscotch as well which isn't bad.

    Thanks guys. I actually went out and got the Torani one this morning! I grabbed Smuckers sugar free caramel sauce last night but it still has 90 calories for 2 tbs. I can't wait to make my coffee this afternoon. With only 15 calories from the half cup of vanilla almond milk I think I might add just a bit of vanilla protein powder to it too just to sneak in a few extra grams for very few calories. I am so excited!!!!!!!
