Cuisine: American
Serves: about 1½ cups
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup dairy-free buttery spread
  • ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup canned, full fat coconut milk (see note below)
  • 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. Melt the buttery spread in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the brown sugar and coconut milk, and let the mixture bubble for 5 minutes (4 minutes at higher altitude), without stirring.
  3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and salt. Let cool to room temperature. It will thicken more as it cools.
  4. Once completely cool, you can store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks.
Notes
Coconut Milk: This is full-fat, regular coconut milk, which comes in cans or little aseptic packages. Do NOT use milk beverage (in the big cartons). You can shake the can before using - your using the milk, not just the cream.
