This dairy-free rum or brandy caramel sauce was shared with us by kosher chef Levana Kirschenbaum, a long time friend of Go Dairy Free. She skips adding butter or oil of any kind, and uses her own distinct blend of sweeteners. She also likes to spike this vegan-friendly caramel sauce with brandy or rum for more depth in flavor. But if needed, you can skip the boozy addition.
