Prep: 5Cook: 30Total: 35 minutes
Servings: 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
- 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Simmer: Place the coconut milk and coconut sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and stir frequently until the sauce has thickened, about 25-30 minutes. The sauce will become a dark brown caramel color.
- Stir: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Taste and add a little more salt if desired.
- Chill: Pour the caramel into a sealable glass container and let it cool completely in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before using. As it cools, the caramel will thicken. Store the caramel in the refrigerator and use it within 2 weeks.
Notes
- Watch the sauce as it boils and stir every 5 minutes. You may notice the sugar start to stick to the sides. If this happens, just whisk to incorporate.
- You can use any canned coconut milk for this recipe.
