Description
This vegan caramel sauce only requires 3 ingredients and is so easy to make! It is creamy, slightly coconut-y and overall dreamy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (398 ml or 13.5 oz.) coconut cream (the full can, shake before opening)
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, stir the coconut cream, pure maple syrup and brown sugar to combine.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat (keep an eye on the pan to avoid boil over).
- Reduce to low medium heat and let the sauce simmer for 45-50 minutes stirring occasionally. The sauce will get darker and thicker as it cooks. It is ready once it sticks to the back of your spoon.
- Remove from the heat and add the sea salt if you want vegan salted caramel. Let the caramel cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a glass jar and storing in the fridge. Once the caramel is cooled completely, it will have a lighter colour and be much thicker.
Notes
If you want salted caramel sauce, add 1 tsp sea salt to the sauce.
Depending on the coconut cream brand you use, you may need to simmer your sauce for up to an hour.
