I am such a sucker for caramel. On my vegan journey I really started to miss Cadbury caramel koalas. So I worked out how I could make simple never ending caramel….. god help us all! This vegan caramel recipe is very easy to make and it’s great in all your vegan cakes, desserts and cookies! Once you make this very simple recipe you will never go without vegan caramel again!
Vegan Caramel Sauce
- Total Time: 12 minutes
- Yield: 1 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 60 ml water
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 100 grams coconut cream
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Combine sugar, water, white vinegar in saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Don’t bring to boil until all the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat to high and bring to the boil without stirring
- Once very golden but don’t burn, take off heat and allow to sit for a minute
- Very slowly stir in coconut cream (it’s going to bubble so be EXTRA careful) + salt until completely combined and put back on the stove at medium heat to boil for a few seconds whilst viciously stirring – don’t let it burn
- Take off heat, transfer to jar and let cool and use when ready
Notes
This sauce will thicken once cooled down. If you want it to be runny for decoration simply reheat at a low temperature

Hey Mim
So glad you like this recipe. It lasts for about 3 weeks before it starts to crystallise.
Please can you tell me if this would be ok to fill macarons with once cooled?
I think it maybe to runny until you did a buttercream dam first
Made this last weekend and worked perfectly – thank you 😊
YAY! Thanks for taking to time to comment xox
