Dairy Free Caramel Sauce (Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan)
Dairy free caramel sauce is a super simple treat to make at home. Use it for a dipping sauce, or drizzle over your favorite desserts!
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk 13.5 oz
- 1/2 cup honey, OR maple syrup, OR coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine the canned coconut milk and honey (or whatever sweetener you're using) into a small sauce pan.
- Whisk the milk and honey mixture over medium heat until the honey has dissolved.
- Bring to a boil and boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, or until the mixture is at a gentle simmer. Simmer for 45-55 minutes until the dairy free caramel has reduced by half, and darkened in color.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
- The caramel will continue to set up and thicken as it cools. So I highly recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge overnight before using.
