Caramel is one of our family’s favorite ice cream toppings. But, so many of the store bought caramels had dairy or a looong list of ingredients. This easy homemade sauce only has THREE ingredients! It’s not hard to get behind a treat like this one. We especially love it on my Vanilla Paleo Ice Cream in an ice cream sundae. Yum!
Paleo Homemade Caramel Topping
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can coconut cream, chilled
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
-
Open the chilled coconut cream. Set aside the lighter clear liquid, you will only need the solid white cream part.
-
Combine the coconut cream and coconut sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, lower heat to medium low and continue to whisk for 10 minutes.
-
Caramel will reduce – thickening and deepening in color. DO NOT stop whisking or you will burn the caramel. Remove from heat and add in vanilla.
-
Caramel will thicken as it cools. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Recipe Notes
If your coconut cream is not separated into the solid white cream and the clear liquid, it might not have chilled long enough. I usually put mine in the fridge overnight. Also, some brands sadly don't separate, I'm not quite sure why. I love using Thai Kitchen brand.
I made this recipe a few months ago and it is still a family favorite! Will never go back to conventional caramel!
I’m so happy you loved this recipe and it’s replacing the conventional caramel – wahoo!
This homemade paleo caramel is the best!! It’s better than regular caramel. I will be maki g this from now on.
