Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut cream hardened white cream on top of chilled can only
  • 2 + 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Place coconut cream*(see notes below), coconut sugar, and salt in a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat.
  • Cook until all ingredients are melted together and mixture starts to bubble/boil, stirring frequently, for about 6-8 minutes.
  • As soon as mixture starts to boil, continue to cook, stirring CONSTANTLY, until caramel thickens significantly. About 5-10 minutes* (see notes below).

Notes

*For this recipe use the hardened white cream at the top of a chilled/unshaken can of coconut cream. Reserve the liquid to use in smoothies. 
*The cook time suggested in this recipe will yield a thick caramel sauce. If you want a thinner sauce to use in iced-coffee for example, take the mixture off the heat 2-5 minutes after it boils.
