I’m not here to debate the proper pronunciation of caramel, and instead want to share this quick and easy recipe for Paleo caramel sauce. Whether you’re looking for a healthier dip for apple slices, or something to drizzle over your favorite dairy-free ice cream or brownies, this recipe is a must-try!
Ingredients:
-
1, 15oz. can full fat coconut milk
-
2/3 cup coconut sugar
-
2/4 cup maple syrup
-
3 tbsp. coconut oil
-
1.5 tsp. vanilla extract
-
1/4 tsp. sea salt
-
arrowroot powder as needed (~ 1 tsp)
Directions:
-
Add coconut milk, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring often.
-
Reduce heat and simmer for ~ 12 minutes, stirring often, until caramel sauce has thickened.
-
Add sea salt and stir.
-
Add arrowroot powder 1/4 tsp. at a time until caramel sauce has thickened a little. It will thicken more as it cools and as you refrigerate it.
-
Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and allow it to cool completely. Then store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
