Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Nut Butter **depending on desired thickness, see notes

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut sugar, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium low heat, whisking constantly.
  2. When the coconut sugar is fully melted, raise the heat to medium and allow the mixture to gently bubble for one minute.
  3. Whisk in 6 tablespoons of the nut butter and allow the mixture to come to a boil again. The mixture will thicken - if it does not thicken, add the remaining two tablespoons of nut butter a little at a time until the mixture is thick but still smooth.
  4. Serve as a dip for apples or a drizzle for vegan ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

**Choose whatever nut butter you like - peanut butter tastes great in this caramel, but a more neutral butter like cashew butter is also delicious. You may need more or less nut butter, depending on the exact texture of your nut butter.
