Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup coconut cream
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or Arrowroot starch. Use the same measurement of Xanthan Gum for a vegan keto caramel sauce!)
- Pinch sea salt (optional (for a vegan salted caramel sauce))
- Pinch Flaked sea salt to garnish the top
Instructions
- 1
In a small stainless steel saucepan, whisk in coconut cream, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly so the coconut cream melts and the mixture becomes bubbly and almost foamy.

Reduce the heat to medium-low (or to a simmer) and continue to stir often for about 5 minutes, or until the caramel thickens. TIP: For making a salted caramel, stir in a pinch of sea salt.
