Salted Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 can / 13.5 oz coconut milk, full fat
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

  • Combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring to a boil (keeping a close eye on it, as it can quickly boil over), then immediately lower the temperature, keeping the sauce at a light simmer.
  • Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. As the sauce reaches the last 5-8 minutes of cooking time, stir more frequently to incorporate the darker caramel bits from the bottom into the sauce.
  • Once the sauce has turned a dark amber and has thickened to coat the back of a spoon, remove from the heat and stir in the coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  • Serve the sauce warm or refrigerate in a sealed glass jar.

Notes

Makes 1 cup / 250ml 
The caramel sauce will stay good for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
