Ingredients

  • 2 13.5 ounce Cans Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt or 1/8 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

Instructions

  • In a stockpot, place the coconut milk over medium heat. Once all the fat has melted, whisk in both sugars, the vanilla, baking soda, and salt, and let the mixture come to a boil, for about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • When the mixture has reached a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the caramel is dark brown and easily coats the back of a spoon, 37 to 42 minutes, stirring only occasionally (over stirring with cause it to crystallize).
  • Let cool completely, then pour into a jar, straining out any leftover little bits of brown sugar to ensure that the sauce is totally smooth. Let it sit in the refrigerator overnight so the flavors develop further.

Notes

  • This caramel should be stored in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator; it will keep for 3 to 4 weeks if stored properly.
