Equipment
- Wooden spoon (or high-heat silicone spatula)
Ingredients
- 2 cups cane sugar*
- 1 cup plant cream
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the cane sugar into medium sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat until fully melted. Stir constantly.
- Once the sugar is liquified, slowly add the plant cream while stirring. CAUTION: The mixture will bubble rapidly at this stage, wear an oven mitt while stirring to avoid splatter.
- Stir until the plant cream and sugar have combined and the mixture begins to thicken slightly. Add the salt and stir again.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before using. The caramel will thicken significantly as it cools.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan, make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.
- Not vegan? Sub equal parts heavy cream instead of plant cream and you've got a recipe for traditional caramel sauce.
- Gluten-free? You are in luck! As long as you select a gluten-free plant cream, you're good to go.
