Yes, you did read correctly. Vegan salted caramel! I was VERY excited when I created this lush vegan caramel recipe. It combines two of my favourite things: coconut and caramel. This is a healthier alternative to the salted caramel recipe found with the Spiced Poached Pears. I served this recipe to my husband Mike, and he couldn’t tell the difference. Yes!
There is a subtle coconut flavour to this caramel recipe, but being a massive coconut fan, I am totally fine with that. I usually use coconut yogurt as I find the yoghurt thickens the sauce quicker than coconut cream. Coconut cream still works well, but a little more stirring is required.
Hope you enjoy!
