I have partnered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! to bring you an awesome plant-based dessert THAT’S GRILLED (wow!) made with their new It’s Vegan buttery spread.
I know summer is winding down (cue the tears!) but are you guys still grilling like crazy? I know I am! Anytime I can get away with it, I like to be outside. And whether you are cooking for your family or for a crowd, grilling definitely makes things SO much easier and delicious!
So I’m not stopping at the grilled entreés —I’m grilling my dessert too! Doesn’t that sound like a good idea?! We are still in the thick of stone fruit season, and grilled stone fruit is up there on the list of “best stuff ever.”
I had the most gorgeous selection of ripe plums, peaches and apricots in my produce drawer so I decided to use those. I just pop them on the BBQ for a few minutes until they get soft and have those great char marks on them. Then you can pile them on top of the vegan ice cream of your choice (I chose chocolate, coffee and vanilla flavors)!
But then things really get interesting when you top all of that delicious ice cream and grilled stone fruit with a big drizzle of Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce. Actually drizzle is the wrong word. Glug? Pour? Something like that is probably more accurate for me. I like to just keep a vat of this caramel next to my sundae and liberally douse each bite. I’m not kidding.
I teamed up with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! And used their new It’s Vegan buttery spread to create this vegan caramel sauce – a golden sugary masterpiece! Just add a little unsweetened coconut cream, brown sugar, vanilla and salt and you will get a treat that you can use in so many ways (in tarts, vegan milkshakes, on ice cream- or just by the spoonful!!) I like to make a double recipe and keep it in the fridge in a mason jar for all of my caramel emergencies.
If you are not vegan or dairy intolerant, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! has also come out with It’s Organic which would also work well in this recipe.
