- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the coconut cream, brown sugar, and maple syrup. This forms the base of the caramel sauce.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the brown sugar completely dissolves into the coconut cream and maple syrup.
- Add Vegan Butter: Stir in the vegan butter until it melts fully and is well combined with the sweetened mixture, enriching the sauce’s texture.
- Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Finalize Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the caramel’s depth and balance the sweetness.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the caramel sauce to cool to room temperature to thicken further before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the best creamy texture.
- Adjust the salt amount according to taste preference to balance sweetness.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Reheat gently before use by warming in a microwave or on the stovetop.
- This sauce is versatile and can be used as a topping on ice cream, oatmeal, pancakes, or vegan desserts.
