Do people still say that? Well, regardless, I’m sayin’ it.

Holy, freakin’ moly!

VEGAN SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Considering caramel is usually not vegetarian, I knew I wanted to make a  Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce. What’s better than creamy caramel with a hit of salt to awaken the senses?

Not much apparently.

I died a thousand times over this sauce. I also had to seriously restrain myself from not devouring the entire jar. To be honest, I did demolish a good three quarters of it.

If I didn’t have another recipe planned for the rest of this sauce it would not have stood a chance.

For this ah-mazing recipe I used A. Vogel’s Sodium Free Herbamere. If the level of salt you consume is an issue try this product out. It has all the salty goodness you love with no sodium. It’s also infused with organic vegetables. Nice.

OK! Onto the sauce.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN CARAMEL SAUCE – Step by Step Images

It was almost too easy. No candy thermometers. Nothing scary like that.

The hardest part is to remember to have your tin of coconut milk in the fridge the night before so that the cream can separate from the water giving us this decadent, uber creamy base for our caramel sauce.

Blend it together with some coconut sugar and pure maple syrup and it miraculously becomes caramel-y bliss.

I love that all of these ingredients are natural. No high fructose corn syrup here!

Get it going under a low boil then, stir it for about ten minutes over low heat.

I kept my heat on the lower side so there’s no chance of it burning. That would be tragic.

No burning the sauce, people!

Remove it from the heat and let cool for about five minutes.

Then stir in some coconut oil and a bit of vanilla to take this from good to super great.

Serve this right away over ice cream or just on your spoon into your mouth like me.

My treat was to scrape the pot clean. 😉

Transfer it into a glass jar and store in the fridge.

It will thicken up (which isn’t bad, in fact, better for spooning directly into your mouth 😉 ) but if you do want to thin it up just heat it up slightly in a sauce pan over medium low or let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

This may have been stirred into my morning coffee.

I have a feeling a lot of things will be containing salted caramel sauce in the future. A strong feeling.
