Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 1 cup Cane sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream, cane sugar, light corn syrup, and sea salt.
Step 3
Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 4
Once the sugar has dissolved, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, making sure it doesn’t touch the bottom.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
Step 6
Continue to boil until the temperature reaches 245°F (approximately 12-15 minutes).
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and coconut oil until well combined.
Step 8
Pour the hot caramel into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for several hours or overnight until it is set.
Step 10
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the caramel out of the pan, and transfer it to a cutting board.
Step 11
Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel into small squares or rectangles.
Step 12
Wrap each caramel piece in wax paper or cellophane individually to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 13
Store the caramels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
