Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pieces plain rice cakes
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut sugar and coconut milk. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes dark amber in color.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil. Stir until the coconut oil is fully melted and incorporated into the caramel.
Let the caramel cool slightly, but not so much that it begins to harden. It should be warm and fluid.
Place the rice cakes on a flat surface or baking sheet. Use a spoon to drizzle or spread the warm caramel over each rice cake.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the caramel-covered rice cakes for added texture and flavor.
Allow the caramel to set for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free caramel rice cakes!
