Paleo Caramel Sauce - GF/DF

/

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:

  1. Add coconut milk, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring often.

  2. Reduce heat and simmer for ~ 12 minutes, stirring often, until caramel sauce has thickened.

  3. Add sea salt and stir.

  4. 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.

  5. Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and allow it to cool completely. Then store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
