Easy Vegan Caramel Sauce
This caramel is used in a few of our recipes and is also delicious as a drizzle for ice cream, cake, or lots of other desserts - get creative!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick / 56 g) vegan butter*, at room temp
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) nondairy creamer, at room temp
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the sugar into a saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir often, until the sugar begins to clump and melt. Continue to stir until the sugar melts completely.*
- Remove from heat and add in the butter, whisking until combined. Add the creamer and whisk until combined.*
- Place back onto low-medium heat, continuously stirring, until it gets bubbly. Stir over heat for another minute or so.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Strain the caramel into a heat-safe bowl. Use as desired!
Notes
- Butter: For the best results, use vegan butter sticks in this recipe rather than from the tub.
- Sugar: You’ll need some patience for this. Continuously stir the sugar and we don’t recommend increasing the heat past medium if you don't think it's melting, it’ll take a few minutes before it begins to melt at all!
- Stirring in ingredients: If the mixture seizes at any point, return to low heat and continuously whisk until it combines back together, then return to the step you were at.
