Dairy Free Caramel Sauce

This caramel sauce is simple to make and dairy free. You get that lovely golden brown caramel sauce using coconut milk.

And, you get a workout with this Vegan Caramel Recipe.  Unlike traditional caramel that is left untouched while it boils.  Dairy Free Caramel must be vigorously stirred the entire time.  That last ten minutes is BRUTAL!

But you can do it!  And it is worth all of that work.  Just look at that glorious caramel.  Drizzle it over apples, ice cream, oatmeal, coffee, pudding or pie!

This is the caramel sauce after cooling in the refrigerator for 3 hours.  Cool overnight for an even thicker caramel sauce.  And yes, if there is drizzling involved, I MUST make an animated gif.  It’s The Law!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Unsweetened Silk CoconutMilk
  • 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar - packed

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 1 week.
