5-Minute Vegan Caramel Sauce? Yes, and it’s only 5 ingredients too!
This plant-based vegan caramel sauce is truly delicious and comes together in a snap. The sauce is thick and full of richness, and no one will guess it’s dairy-free. I’ve made it with both cashew butter and tahini, and it really works both ways. The cashew butter gives this vegan caramel sauce a little more traditional flavor, tahini gives it a little twist and the sauce will be a little runnier. Of course, if you’re going the Paleo-friendly route, you’ll want to stick with cashew.
Now it’s incredibly easy to add some indulgence to everything from apple slices to dessert, real food-style!
