Salt and caramel couldn’t be more different. One’s more about seasoning savory foods, the other’s deliciously sweet. But this odd couple have become the perfect culinary pairing and can be found all around the foodie feeds. We’re hearing and seeing salted caramel recipes everywhere right now. This contrasting flavor pair has become a perennial favorite among ice cream lovers. But the combination from the gourmet world is now mainstream and can be found in various cookies, cakes, and pies. Yes, especially among snacks, this delicious trend has proven its more than just a passing fad.

And because only a few people can resist the flavor, it was pretty obvious that we have to bring back our Salted Caramel Protein Cream at least once. And what’s the best part? We heard your requests, and this special Protein Cream is now part of our permanent collection.

Unlike traditional caramel spreads, ours has no palm oil or added sugar and 45 percent fewer carbs to boot! And it has the same great taste – this spread has that sweet taste with a salty note that we love so much. We use it to top our pancakes, cookies, and yogurts or use it in baking or even enjoy the dip straight from the spoon when a craving hits. Of course, variety is the spice of life, which is why we recommend our Protein Cream bundle too!

Why Protein Cream Anyway?

Before we can show you what you can do with the Salted Protein Cream, which we can now keep you supplied with year round, and which recipes are simply irresistible with it, it’s time for a brief look at the general advantages of our Protein Creams. First, it’s all about being able to treat yourself without resorting to the usual suspects packed with sugar. Sweet doesn’t have to be sinful. We have maltitol to thank for that, which instead of added sugar ends up in our spread with the extra load of proteins.

These are sugar alcohols that occur naturally in both fruits and vegetables in very small amounts. And they have a lower caloric value than sugar. By the way, with our Protein Cream you can not only do something good for yourself when you feel like snacking, but also for the environment. We deliberately avoid palm oil and instead use sunflower oil, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. The perfect mix for a creamy consistency and balanced flavor!

No-Bake Salted Caramel Cups

Why have no-bake recipes become so popular lately? They’re a great way to whip up something to snack on without spending ages in the kitchen! Small amount of effort, huge flavor experience – that’s what you get with these Salted Caramel Cups. The base is a crunchy cookie in combination with coconut oil. For the topping, creamy caramel meets tart chocolate. Who can say no to that?
