Homemade Vegan Caramel Sauce Recipe
This is the easiest vegan caramel sauce recipe you'll see on the internet, and I made it so, because I want you to start making yours at home.
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Heat-safe jar or container for storing
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream or the thick portion from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup light brown sugar or coconut sugar for a deeper flavor
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon Salt This is option and it's for a salted caramel version
Instructions
Warm the coconut cream:
- Add the coconut cream to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and warmed through.
Add sugar:
- Pour in the brown sugar and whisk continuously until dissolved.
Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Note: It will thicken more as it cools.
Finish the caramel:
- Remove from heat and whisk in the vegan butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
Cool & store:
- Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
