Ingredients
one 13.5oz can Light Coconut Milk
¼ cup Coconut Oil (melted)
¼ tsp Salt
â…“ cup Pure Maple Syrup - My Favorite New England Sugar House
¼ cup Water
1 cup organic sucanat or molasses
½ cup Granulated Erythritol - I use this one
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, and salt.
In a small saucepan, add the maple syrup, water, sucanat, and erythritol. Add a candy thermometer to the pot and place over medium-high heat. Do not stir, let it come to a boil.
At 250 degrees F, remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the coconut milk/oil mixture. Stop whisking once it's all added. Return to medium-high heat.
Get back to 220 degrees F, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. The mixture will be dark, like dark caramel.
Turn off heart and whisk in the vanilla after the 5 minutes is up. Pour the mixture into a heat-proof container and let it come to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Good for up to 2 weeks.
*For thicker sauce, reduce the amount of coconut milk
