Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream (not coconut milk)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut cream, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Allow the caramel to simmer gently for 12-15 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure it doesn’t burn, and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vegan butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring until fully combined.
Step 7
Let the caramel sauce cool for 10-15 minutes to thicken further as it comes to room temperature.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, reheating gently if needed before use.
