Salted Caramel Sauce (Vegan, Dairy-Free, Paleo)

Ingredients

• 13.5 oz coconut milk (full fat)
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Serve the sauce warm or refrigerate in a sealed glass jar.
