Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the syrup, coconut cream, butter, sugar, and salt to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a low boil and boil for 1 minute.
  • Then, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Once the 15 minutes are up, reduce heat to low, then stir continuously for 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat, then stir in the vanilla and coconut oil.
  • Pour caramel in a jar or container and allow it to cool; Add more salt as needed.
  • Note: I recommend making this sauce a day or two in advance; the longer it sits, the more it'll thicken. I also recommend giving it a few stirs throughout the day (again, will help it thicken). If it ends up being TOO thick, simply microwave it for 30 seconds.
