To kick off 2018, I am sharing a recipe that I have been brainstorming since I started this blog a year and a half ago. It brings together a Mediterranean ingredient that has become a staple in my plant-based diet, and the minimalism I love about Middle Eastern cuisine so much.
It is great drizzled over fruits, ice cream, or mixed into a drink like hot cocoa! The possibilities are endless.
Coconut sugar gives this salted caramel sauce a wonderful caramelized color and taste.
Recipe
5 Ingredient Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce (Salted Tahini Caramel!)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon tahini
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon coconut cream
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or ¼ cup organic cane sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla optional
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients except water in a small, heat-safe bowl. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until sugar is dissolved, up to 1 minute. Alternatively, whisk in a small saucepan over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and pour the caramel into a serving container. Whisk if slightly separated.
- For a more syrupy, drippy consistency, once cool, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Enjoy immediately! Can be stored refrigerated up to a week.
