Here Are Some Tips for Making Vegan Caramel Sauce

  • Use a good quality coconut sugar. This will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the sauce. If it boils too long, it will become hard and grainy.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. This will help it to thicken and become more spreadable.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add the slurry to the hot sauce and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
