Tzatziki
Mediterranean food is absolutely delicious. They really know how to embrace the true flavors of food and not cover it in sauces. Every dish has the freshest herbs and veggies and their sauces are no different. Rather than using a lot of butter to make…
Coconut Milk Caramel Sauce
We frequent a brunch place that makes the best banana bread french toast with a caramel sauce. For months I’ve contemplated trying to recreate a caramel sauce so I could do the same. A lot of the healthy caramel recipes I’ve seen take forever and I do not want to spend forever making caramel.
This caramel sauce takes all of 15 mins., only 4 ingredients, and is absolutely amazing. Like for real, so dang good. I’ve been known to eat a spoonful or two or three, as I’m pouring it in the jar. Sorry not sorry.
Pour it over ice cream, on pancakes, in your coffee, swirled on top of our Almond Butter Zucchini Brownies. The possibilities are endless and all are delicious. I’ll be jealous of every single thing y’all make with this caramel if I’m not having it as well.
Coconut Milk Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz full fat canned coconut milk
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup honey, maple syrup, or agave (can increase liquid sweetener in place of coconut sugar, but may increase cooking time and not have as dark of a caramel color)
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan heat all ingredients over medium-high heat to a boil. Stir constantly while sauce boils for 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to about half.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before pouring into a glass jar for storage. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Once completely cooled, store in fridge for up to one week.
