There’s something magical about homemade caramel sauce.
I remember the first time I tried to make it without any coconut cream—my heart was racing, and I was a bit nervous, but the result was pure bliss!
This recipe has become a staple in my kitchen, not just because it’s vegan, but because it captures that rich, buttery flavor I thought I’d miss.
Plus, it only takes a few minutes to whip up, and it keeps well in the fridge for those sweet cravings!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using coconut sugar for that deep caramel flavor, but brown sugar works wonders too. Full-fat coconut almond milk gives it the creaminess we crave without coconut cream. If you want a richer taste, try adding a bit more vegan vegan butter!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar - it stays fresh for days and looks pretty on my shelf!
- •If you find it too thick when cooled, just stir in a dash of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice kick, or even a splash of espresso for a coffee caramel!
- •If I’m feeling indulgent, I’ll toss in some dark chocolate chips to make a chocolate caramel sauce.
Storage & Freezing
Store your caramel sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll thicken as it cools, so just reheat it gently when you’re ready to drizzle it over your favorite treats!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of plant almond milk?
I wouldn’t recommend it for this recipe because you want that creaminess. Coconut almond milk works best, but you could experiment with cashew cream for a different flavor.
How long does this sauce last?
In the fridge, it’ll last about a week. Just warm it slightly in the microwave before using!
