Keyword: caramel, coconut, coconut milk, easy, vegan

Servings: cup

13.5 oz full fat coconut milk or coconut cream
2/3 cup coconut sugar (95g) (pure maple syrup, agave, brown sugar, or xylitol also work)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)

1. Stir canned coconut milk or coconut cream, sweetener, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, whisk continuously for 5 minutes. Watch the pot to make sure it does not boil over.
3. Turn the heat to a simmer, and cook 45-60 minutes or until the liquid thickens and reduces to about half its original volume. Stir occasionally during this time.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the optional vanilla extract.
5. Let the vegan caramel sauce cool fully before transferring it to a covered container or jar. It is perfectly fine to use right away, or you can refrigerate overnight for a thicker texture.
