    Notes

    How to Make Caramel Sauce
    • 150 grams coconut cream powder (~⅔ cup)
    • 150 grams coconut palm sugar (~⅔ cup)
    • 120 ml warm water (~½ cup)
    • 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil (melted)
    • pinch of sea salt (optional)
    METHOD: Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend on high for 2-3 minutes until thick and gooey.
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple weeks. It thickens up in the fridge so if you want to thin it out, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds, stir and repeat until desired consistency.
    Pro Tip: Slightly warm a chunk of vegan chocolate in the microwave and then grate it on a box grater. For chocolate curls, slightly warm the chocolate so it's pliable. Using a vegetable peeler, scrape across the chocolate to create beautiful chocolate curls.
