Equipment
- 1 stainless steel saucepan
- 1 whisk
- 1 Mason jar
Ingredients
For the Vegan Caramel
- 1 cup coconut cream canned full-fat coconut milk or condensed coconut milk. Heavy cream can be used in place of coconut cream as a non-vegan option. If you're on a keto diet, use any except condensed coconut milk!
- ¾ cup brown sugar Or, coconut sugar, or granulated sugar for a non-vegan recipe. Replace it with a mixture of 4 tablespoons of Allulose and 4 tablespoons of Swerve Brown if you're on a keto diet!

Garnish (Optional)

- Reduce the heat to medium-low (or to a simmer) and continue to stir often for about 5 minutes, or until the caramel thickens. TIP: For making a salted caramel, stir in a pinch of sea salt.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool. Stir well every time you use it!
