Ingredients
Vegan Caramel Sauce
- ¾ cup Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 cup Full-Fat Coconut Milk
- ½ teaspoon Maldon Salt
Caramel Oat Milk Latte
- Double Shot of Espresso
- 1 tablespoon Caramel Sauce more for topping
- ½ cup Oat Milk
Instructions
- Make the caramel sauce by adding the sugar to a pan over medium-high heat. Stir the sugar for about 1-2 minutes to start to melt.
- Whisk in the coconut milk and flaky salt.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer over low medium heat and let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until caramel is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Let cool and then transfer the caramel to a jar with a lid. Caramel can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Add caramel to the bottom of a mug, the amount depends on your sweetness preference.
- Brew a double shot of espresso and add over the caramel.
- Froth and steam the oat milk and add to the mug. Drizzle caramel over the top and enjoy!
- If you like sweeter coffee, I recommend adding 1 teaspoon of brown sugar syrup.
- Make it iced by dissolving the caramel into the hot espresso shot before pour over ice cubes and oat milk.
Notes
This recipe makes roughly 12 servings of caramel sauce. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
The caramel will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you overcook it, you'll end up with extremely thick caramel after it cools- almost the same texture as caramel candies.
If that happens, don't worry! Scoop some out and reheat it on the stovetop or microwave and it will return to a right texture.
Caramel won't dissolve in cold liquids so if you're making an iced latte, dissolve the caramel in the hot espresso first and then add the ice, milk, and a drizzle of caramel over the top.
