Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated monk fruit 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 and granulated monk fruit sweetener.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the monk fruit sweetener dissolves completely.
Add the coconut oil and continue stirring until the oil is fully incorporated into the mixture.
Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Stir the sauce frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and allow it to reduce and thicken, about 15-20 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened and darkened in color, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, adjusting the salt to taste if desired.
Allow the caramel sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before use if it becomes too thick.
