Dairy-Free Vegan Caramel Sauce
Description
The process starts by carefully melting sugar over medium heat, evenly swirling the pan to avoid burning, until it turns a deep golden brown. Once the caramelization is achieved, the heat is turned off and dairy-free butter is whisked in until melted and incorporated.
While whisking continuously to prevent lumps, full-fat coconut milk is added gradually, creating a creamy sauce. The mixture is strained through a fine sieve for smoothness and stored in a heatproof container. This sauce can be refrigerated and reheated gently in a microwave if it becomes too thick.
This dairy-free caramel offers a versatile alternative to traditional caramel sauce, lending a rich sweetness suitable for drizzling over desserts or incorporating into recipes that require caramel flavor without dairy ingredients.
