Ingredients
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup coconut cream (room temperature or warmer)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
  1. Whisk the sugar and water together in a small saucepan.

  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer without stirring.

  3. Let the mixture continue to simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes, until it turns amber in color. Do not stir it during this time.

  4. Stir in the coconut cream, and let the mixture continue simmering for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and salt.

  6. Let the mixture cool a bit in the pot. When it's just warm, transfer it to a sealable container and place it in the fridge to chill. It will continue to thicken.
