Dulce de Leche Vegano

Dulce de Leche Vegano is a creamy, caramel-like sauce made from coconut milk that brings a delightful sweetness to any dessert. This vegan version captures the essence of traditional Mexican dulce de leche while being completely dairy-free and indulgent.

Ingredients

• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Brown sugar - 150 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Once dissolved, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
4. Continue to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens and reduces to a syrupy consistency.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Let it cool slightly before transferring to a jar or container.
