Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated monk fruit sweetener (or similar sugar-free sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk, granulated monk fruit sweetener, and coconut oil.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Once it simmers, reduce the heat to low and let it gently boil for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the mixture thickens and reduces by roughly half.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Allow the caramel to cool for 10-15 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Pour the caramel into a glass jar or airtight container for storage. Let it cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
Store the caramel in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently if needed before use.
