Instructions:
- Step 1: Combine Ingredients - In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar, 4 ounces of water, and 4 ounces of coconut milk. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Step 2: Heat the Mixture - Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. This will help dissolve the sugar.
- Step 3: Simmer - Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent burning. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
- Step 4: Add Flavor - After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. This will infuse the sauce with a delightful aroma.
- Step 5: Cool and Store - Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a heatproof jar or container. It will thicken further as it cools.
Notes
- Store the caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Rewarm in a saucepan or microwave before serving for the best texture.
- Feel free to experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for seasonal variations.
