Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut cream (full-fat, canned)
  • 0.75 cup coconut sugar
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut cream, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vegan butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for 10–12 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and turns a deep golden brown.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. The caramel will continue to thicken as it cools.
  4. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving if needed.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the cooled caramel briefly with an immersion blender. If the sauce becomes too thick when chilled, warm it in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of plant-based milk to loosen.
