Vegan Dulce de Leche
This vegan dulce de leche is a rich, creamy and decadent sauce with a caramel like taste that will blow your mind. Plus it is gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 400 ml 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add a can of full-fat coconut milk to a saucepan and place it on medium heat.
- To this, add a cup of maple syrup, half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla essence.
- Stir well until well combined and bring this to a gentle boil.
- Reduce to a low flame to prevent the mixture from burning.
- Continue stirring every eight to ten minutes for about two and a half hours, till the mixture reduces to almost half.
- The mixture will turn from light coloured runny liquid to a thick sauce with nutty caramel colour. At this stage, the mixture should coat a spoon.
- Switch off the flame. Transfer to an airtight container once the mixture cools completely. Dulce de leche will thicken further as it cools.
