Happy Friday!!! This week has flown by for me- I am speaking at a luncheon today and a ton of work has gone into it (I will spill more details and pictures tomorrow in Saturday Stuff). Yesterday, in a period of 15 hours, I literally only sat down when I was in the car taking Pia to and from School. Oh, and to the dentist (where she had a molar removed- EEEKK!!!)
Anyways, after such a crazy day and a Pia going through such a trauma, I made her this dessert last night so that she could have an indulgence that her body was ok with. And what is more comforting than caramel sauce?! It is one of my favorite things without a doubt….
This version is made with coconut oil, coconut cream, sugar (we used beet sugar) and kosher salt. It is a decadent (non-dairy) alternative to regular caramel and is ah-mazing drizzled over ice cream or coconut sorbet…..
To make this salted Coconut Caramel Sauce, this is what you do:
Put everything in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat for about 7 minutes.
Drizzle over ice cream or use as desired. (You can chill in the refrigerator for later use and just gently reheat in a water bath.)

Tell me about coconut cream…not sure I am familiar with it
Hi Lisa, I use coconut cream (which they sell in the Asian aisle or at Trader Joes) it is next to the coconut milk, and is just like a whole can of the thickened “cream” that gathers at the top of a can of coconut milk. Does that help? (NOT the coconut cocktail mixer!)
Thanks Heather….I will check it out…I live in the middle of nowhere, so I will check on line
I saw your sauce on Google+ and had to stop by and take a look. I’m such a coconut fan, this is pinned for the weekend.
Thanks Kristi! I hope you like it!!
I want to put this on everything!
Me too Maria!! It is so good!
Holy cow! I could just dive into that! Brilliant, Heather! Sympathy and empathy to Pia and Mom. That must have been horrible to endure in the waiting room.
These flavors were meant to be besties. Great recipe H!!
I LOVE THIS!!! So creative and you combined to of my favorite flavors.
Can’t wait to try this, Heather!
No way!!! This is genius!!! I seriously can’t make this. I would probably start drinking it right out of the jar 🙂 I looooove coconut oil and baking with it. Have only ever made caramel sauce with butter. Okay, I am so doing this! pinned
Oh my gosh, this sounds incredible!!!
This is such an incredible alternative to regular caramel. I’ve never used coconut cream, but I’ll keep an eye out at Trader Joe’s so I can give this a try. Pinned!
I’m obsessed with caramel and have been using coconut oil in everything lately, so I have to try this!
I am soooo intrigued by this Heather! Can’t wait to give it a try, sounds to die for!!
Yum! I’m a huge fan of coconut. I think this would be delicious on chocolate ice cream.
Made this to drizzle over the blueberry pie I made and it is HEAVENLY!!!! Thanks for the recipe!! 🙂
