Drizzle this caramel sauce over Paleo ice cream or apple pie, or even stir it into your coffee – the choices are endless for this rich, silky goodness.
Coconut sugar has a natural caramelized flavor that works perfectly in caramel sauce. Add a freshly scraped vanilla bean to the recipe, and you have a delicious, subtle sweetness. You can also leave the scraped pod in the sauce while cooking for more flavor and discard it later.
When you first bring the sauce to boil, don’t leave it unattended. It can boil over and the temperature is high, so be careful.
