Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, and monk fruit sweetener until fully combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and takes on a golden caramel color.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
Let the caramel cool slightly in the saucepan before transferring to a jar or container for storage.
The caramel will further thicken as it cools. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week and warm slightly before using if needed.
