Equipment

  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 glass jar

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (only use the thick, white part)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Then add the brown sugar.
  • Stir for about 1 minute until the sugar begins to caramelize. 
  • Then add the coconut milk (only use the thick, white part) and the vegan butter. Also add the sea salt if using. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until is has thickened into a stretchy sauce.
  • Transfer the vegan caramel sauce to a glass jar with a lid. 
  • Drizzle over vegan ice cream or pancakes or serve with sliced apples. 

Notes

  • Make sure to use only the white, thick part of the coconut milk. The recipe does not work with coconut milk that comes in a carton (like almond milk) or coconut water as it is too thin.
  • The recipe is very flexible. You can easily double or half the recipe.
  • Stored in a glass jar or airtight container, the caramel sauce will last in the fridge up to 7 days.
