How to Make Vegan Caramel Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder and 2 tablespoons of water until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of vegan butter, 1/2 cup of full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Gradually whisk in the arrowroot mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
