  • ½ c. Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. Vegan Butter
  • ¼ c. Coconut Milk Full Fat
  • ½ tsp. Salt Kosher

  2. Once the sugar has melted, add in the vegan butter, 1 Tbsp. at a time. After all of the butter has been melted and whisked in, slowly pour in the coconut milk**, whisking as you add.

  3. Remove from heat and whisk in salt and vanilla. Allow the caramel to cool a bit before serving. It will thicken up as it cools.
