Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Consider using coconut sugar for deeper flavor.
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream Opt for full-fat for the richest results.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Use pure for the best taste.
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.

Equipment

  • medium heavy-bottom pot
  • Spatula
  • heat-proof container

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 1 cup of granulated sugar in a medium heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Allow it to melt for about 2-5 minutes, tilting the pot gently to ensure even melting.
  2. Once the edges of the sugar are melted, reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently push the melted sugar toward the center of the pot, allowing it to meld together. This should take another 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully add 1 cup of room temperature coconut cream. Stir thoroughly to combine until the sauce is uniform.
  4. Once the sauce is well-mixed, take it off the heat again. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Transfer the hot sauce into a heat-proof container to cool at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure the coconut cream is at room temperature before adding to avoid lumpiness. Let the sauce cool at room temperature rather than in the fridge to maintain its smooth texture.
