Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt optional
  • ¾ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Add the coconut milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt to a saucepan and whisk until well combined. Then add the brown sugar and whisk again.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes or until the vegan caramel thickens, stirring frequently.
  • Use your vegan caramel immediately with desserts like vegan crepes, coconut yogurt, baked apples, or even banana ice cream, among lots of other delicious recipes!
  • Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. Use it directly from the fridge or reheat it in the microwave (you can also place the container in a saucepan with some hot water until warmed through). 

Notes

  • To make this vegan caramel sauce you can also use coconut cream.
  • Feel free to customize your vegan caramel recipe with any type of starch or sugar. Make sure the sugar you're using is vegan.
