You’re about to dig into your favorite Fall dessert – a warm brownie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a fresh apple slice… What’s missing?

This 3-Ingredient Salted Caramel sauce, that’s what!

Sure, you could swing by the store and grab a bottle of caramel sauce that’s ready to go, but with just 3-ingredients and super simple steps, it would take you twice as long to get there and find the right aisle as it would to make this at home! It’s like adding a little extra love to your fall comfort foods, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, let me tell you: it’s vegan, refined sugar free and, most importantly, downright delicious. As it cools, it thickens into a velvety, dreamy consistency that’s perfect for pouring, drizzling, and dipping. I’ll be making this all Fall long!

How To Make My 3-Ingredient Salted Caramel Sauce

Step 1. In a blender, combine the coconut milk (both the liquid and the cream on top) and cornstarch.  Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth.  

Step 2. To a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk mixture along with the coconut sugar and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3. Reduce to a simmer and cook the sauce for about 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the sugars from burning and incorporate the caramelized bits into the sauce.

Step 4. When it’s done, it should easily coat the back of a spoon, and will continue to thicken up a bit as it cools.

Step 5. Serve with sliced apples, drizzled over cakes or ice cream or refrigerate until ready to serve.  The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.  

Step 6. Enjoy!

What Else Can I Use?

• I do not recommend a light coconut milk in this recipe, the coconut cream in the full-fat is necessary for both richness and viscosity.
• You can add a bit of vanilla extract for a vanilla flavor, which pairs beautifully with the sauce.
• If you don’t care for the saltiness of salted caramel, simply omit the salt.
• I haven’t tested this with brown sugar, but I will bet it works just great as a substitute for coconut sugar.  
• If you prefer to keep this recipe paleo, use 1 tablespoon of tapioca or arrowroot starch in place of the cornstarch.  

This 3-Ingredient Salted Caramel Sauce is special because:

The name says it all – it’s just 3 ingredients!

It lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge and makes for the perfect gift for a housewarming or dinner hosts.
