Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries I used frozen, but you could use fresh
- 2 tbsp Granular Sweetener or more to taste
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener to a saucepan. Cook on medium until the strawberries defrost.
- Add the Xanthan gum to the pan and continue to cook until a syrup forms. Xanthan gum serves as a thickener and cooks quickly so keep an eye on it. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Allow the sauce to cool. You can use it to top the cheesecakes, waffles or pancakes.

Notes
- Use any 1:1 sugar substitute: My strawberry topping or sauce is keto-friendly and low-carb. It is also gluten-free. I'm using a 1:1 substitute for sugar, but you can use any sugar substitute you prefer.
- Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries: If you prefer a different berry, you can follow the same steps but substitute a different berry altogether. For example, you can make sugar-free blueberry sauce and keto raspberry sauce.
- Mix the Xanthan Gum with a small amount of neutral-tasting oil like coconut oil to reduce clumping.
