Vegan Salted Caramel

Directions

  1. Vegan Salted Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add sugar and cook (while stirring) until it begins to golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Turn off heat and add in vegan butter, whisking until it fully melts and incorporates with sugar.
  3. Continuing to whisk constantly, slowly add in coconut milk and the sauce should thicken slightly. Let sit for 5 minutes or so to cool.
  4. Pour sauce into a heat-safe mason jar or container and refrigerate when ready to store.

NOTE: As the sauce fully cools, it will begin to thicken more and more. Stir before using.
