Dairy Free Caramel Sauce
3 Ingredient dairy-free caramel sauce! Everyone needs to have a go-to caramel sauce. Drizzle it over ice cream, swirl on top of brownies or sandwich between cookies…it really adds something extra drool worthy to your treats!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup dairy free butter I find Country Crock plant butter to be the best butter for this recipe
- ¼ cup coconut milk You will need full fat canned coconut milk for this
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To prepare the caramel, place the sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium low heat (3 or 4) for about 15-20 min. As the sugar heats up, it will initially start to clump together, this is normal!
- Continue to let the sugar melt down and caramelize, stirring regularly or swirling the pan regularly until all the sugar has completely melted and has turned a lovely amber color. This may take up to 20 minutes. If using a thermometer, it should read about 350, but is not necessary to use.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter. Be careful, as this will create steam and will bubble a lot. The butter will initially stay separate from the sugar, but just whisk them together until the butter has become homogeneous with the caramel.
- Once combined, then add in the coconut milk and whisk until once again it has become fully incorporated and homogeneous.
- If it is being a little stubborn and not coming together well, you can place the pan back on low heat and whisk until it comes together.
- Allow to cool, then keep in an airtight container and place in the fridge. The sauce will keep for about a week. Enjoy!
