Ingredients:
-
1 cup granulated sugar 🍚
-
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk 🥥 (or any non-dairy heavy cream substitute of your choice)
-
1/2 cup vegan butter 🧈
-
1 teaspoon sea salt 🧂 (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
-
Melt the Sugar: Start by placing the granulated sugar into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon as the sugar melts and turns a beautiful amber color 🍯. Be patient, as this process can take a few minutes.
-
Add Coconut Milk: Once the sugar has melted and become golden, carefully add the full-fat coconut milk (or your preferred non-dairy heavy cream). The mixture will bubble up, so stir constantly to keep it smooth and incorporated 🔄.
-
Stir in the Vegan Butter: Once the coconut milk is fully mixed in, add the vegan butter to the saucepan. Continue stirring until the butter melts completely and the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and glossy ✨.
-
Season with Salt: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sea salt 🧂. Taste and adjust the salt level as desired — feel free to add more for an extra salty kick!
-
Cool and Store: Let the caramel cool down before transferring it to a glass jar or airtight container 🏺. It will thicken as it cools, making it perfect for drizzling.
