Do you know this situation? It’s a mess! Coconut sugar is one of the things. You can buy this special sort of sugar at organic chains or even in supermarkets. Coconut Sugar is way more expensive than the normal one, but it's worth it! Coconut sugar smells and tastes like caramel by nature, so it’s just the perfect ingredient for homemade, vegan caramel. As a basic recipe you can use it for a dip, sauce or whatever you want to call it. But it doesn’t matter cause you will get addicted to it. I swear!

This vegan caramel dip works perfectly on a cake or as a dip for vegan snicker balls or fresh fruits. The caramel gets thicker by the time, so use it still warm if you want to decorate a cake with it. The creme of the coconut can is essential for the consistency of your caramel dip. There is a firmer creme at the top of the can that works perfectly for a thick caramel creme.
