This five-ingredient vegan caramel sauce uses no fancy ingredients or equipment and can be whipped up in 10 minutes or less. It's perfect for drizzling on ice cream or any dessert you need a caramel sauce for.
Take a small saucepan and place all the ingredients except the vanilla. Stir on high heat until the butter is melted. Then stop stirring and bring to a boil, once it reaches a good boil turn the heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes without stirring.
After the 8 minutes remove from the heat add the vanilla extract and stir.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes then place in a glass container for storage. This will thicken as it cools. Let it cool to room temperature before storing it covered in the fridge.
Notes
If it gets too thick in the fridge you can reheat the caramel for about 10-15 seconds until it's ready to drizzle again.
