• EASY + FAST
• Perfectly caramel-y and sweet

How do you make Vegan Caramel Sauce?

Add 1 cup of coconut cream, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to a small pot or pan.

NOTE: I buy coconut cream for this recipe, but you can also use full fat coconut milk. Simply scoop out all the white, thick parts until you have a cup.

Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the coconut cream melts. Bring to a boil. It will get bubbly and almost foamy. Lower heat to a simmer, and stir frequently for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

You can use it straight away, or let it cool. It will become thicker as it cools, and become a little lighter in color. Either way is delicious!

Store leftover caramel in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Give it a good stir each time you use it.

There are so many possibilities for this Vegan Caramel Sauce! Try it drizzled on ice cream, Vegan Salted Caramel Skillet Cookie, Apple Crisp, Cheesecake, drizzled on Chocolate Cake or Brownies, Monkey Bread or Hot Chocolate.
