Vegan Coconut Caramel

  2.0 – 1 reviews  • Dessert Sauce Recipes

I make dairy-free Twix® bars with this caramel. It has a mouthwatering caramel flavor and is equally as delectable as all the non-vegan versions available. I actually prefer it even if I’m not vegan! For making caramel candies, you could make it a little tougher. For dipping caramel apples, you could make it a little runnier.

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 1 cup caramel

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup coconut milk
  2. ⅓ cup brown sugar
  3. 2 tablespoons vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
  4. 2 teaspoons vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
  5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine coconut milk, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons margarine, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat on low, watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until mixture registers 236 degrees F (113 degrees C) on an instant-read or candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Mix in any grease that separated from the mixture, or carefully pour it off.
  2. For homemade Twix(R) bars, drizzle caramel over the cookie of your choice, then coat with melted chocolate. For caramel apples, carefully caramel spoon over apples. For caramel candies, oil a 9-inch baking dish and dust with powdered sugar. A tiny muffin tin would also work. Pour in caramel and let cool. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or toffee pieces for an extra treat!
  3. If you want a harder caramel, continue to heat until soft ball stage is reached (240 degrees F (115 degrees C)). For a dippable caramel, add a splash of soy milk after cooking.

Unfortunately with these ratios the caramel never thickened up, even after reducing significantly and chilling. The flavor was good however.
