Coconut Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
-
1 cup Let's Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream (just the cream)
-
1 cup sugar (white or brown)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1⁄4 tsp salt
Instructions
-
Add coconut cream (just the thick white cream, not the clear liquid) and sugar of choice to a small
pot. Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the coconut cream melts and the sugar
dissolves.
-
Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 10-15
minutes. Don’t worry if it looks thin, the caramel will thicken as it cools. Near the end, stir in the
vanilla extract and salt.
-
Remove the pot from heat. Let the caramel cool to thicken. Transfer the caramel to a
tightly-sealed glass or jar. Let it cool to thicken, then enjoy it as a dip, spread, or sauce. Keep in the refrigerator and enjoy it for 1 week.
Notes: You can use any type of sugar. The caramel will be lighter in color and flavor if you use white sugar. It will be darker and richer in flavor if you use brown sugar.

Place pretzels, diced green apples, and chopped pecans into the melted chocolate. Drizzle the
coconut caramel on top. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate on top. Finish with a sprinkle of
flaky sea salt.

chunks and pieces. Enjoy!
