Vegan Dulce de Leche Recipe

This Vegan Dulce de Leche is a creamy, rich caramel sauce that’s perfect for drizzling over desserts or enjoying on its own. Made with simple ingredients, it’s easy to prepare and can be used in various recipes!

Ingredients

  • 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup (300 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter (optional, for added creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Heat the Mixture:
    • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Simmer:
    • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally for about 25–30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and darkens in color. Keep a close eye on it to ensure it doesn’t boil over.
  4. Add Vegan Butter:
    • If using, stir in the vegan butter once the mixture has thickened. This adds extra creaminess to your dulce de leche.
  5. Cool:
    • Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it to a jar or bowl. The dulce de leche will thicken further as it cools.
  6. Store:
    • Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Tips for Success

  • Consistency: If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook it longer; if you want it thinner, reduce cooking time.
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: Use this vegan dulce de leche as a topping for pancakes, ice cream, or in desserts like cakes and cookies.

Enjoy this delicious Vegan Dulce de Leche as a sweet treat or an ingredient in your favorite recipes!
