What is dairy free caramel made of? ›

How do you make Vegan Caramel Sauce? Add 1 cup of coconut cream, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to a small pot or pan. NOTE: I buy coconut cream for this recipe, but you can also use full fat coconut milk. Simply scoop out all the white, thick parts until you have a cup.

2. Does Caramel Have Milk In It? Some forms of caramel candy and sauces can have milk in them, but the traditional recipe for making caramel doesn't include milk. That being said, most recipes for making caramel include some sort of a dairy product in them, regardless of whether that's butter, cream, or milk.

This is an old fashioned caramel recipe with no corn syrup! For a simple caramel sauce all you really need is sugar, butter and cream. I also like to add vanilla extract and a little salt to enhance the flavors. For a classic sweet caramel, a tiny pinch of salt will do.

Like regular caramel, this vegan caramel is made from a base of sugar, cream, and butter. We'll be using coconut cream instead of regular cream, and dairy free butter to keep it all dairy free since most caramel is not vegan. Then you'll need some salt and vanilla for extra flavor and that's it!

The honey – which is an invert sugar – is used in this recipe in place in of the corn syrup and the texture and consistency is perfect. The flavor starts out just like a classic caramel but they finish out with a faint honey taste which I think gives them a nice richness and depth.

Light Corn Syrup: This is an imperative ingredient that gives the caramel a softer, chewier consistency. Also, and more importantly, corn syrup helps prevent the cooking caramel from crystallizing into a gritty, grainy texture.

You can replace 1 cup of corn syrup with one of these simple substitutes: 1 cup sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water. 1 cup honey. 1 cup light molasses.
