Caramel Sauce- Vegan Paleo and Delicious!!!

Ingredients-

1/2 cup Water

1/2 cup Coconut Sugar

1/2 cup Coconut Milk (from the can), Full Fat I like Thai Kitchen (NOTE when picking a Coconut Milk, you want to shake it at room temp. You know it is a good one when there is no liquid movement. If you feel the liquid, it isn’t a good coconut milk. It should feel solid. That ensures the quality and the high fat content you want.)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions-

  1. place Water and Coconut sugar in a sauce pan. Simmer on medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  2. Add Coconut milk, stir to combine. Let simmer for about 30 minute. It will become a dark amber, reduce in volume a bit and become visibly thick.
  3. Add vanilla and salt.
  4. Cool completely. It will be like caramel, thick, coat the back of a spoon and keep in a glass covered container in the frdige for about 2 weeks.
  5. Enjoy!

1/2 cup almond slivers (or whatever nut and or seed you like)

  2. In the meantime, melt the remaining ingredients over a double boiler.
  3. Put a Silpat or parchment paper on a cookie sheet pan. Spread the melted chocolate mixture then take the toasted cereal nut mix and gently pat it onto the chocolate mixture. I add a pinch more salt and coconut sugar. Like when you make a bark. Here is the video where I demo this.
