Instructions

Notes

Vegan caramel: In a pan, mix 1/4 cup raw or coconut sugar,1 tbsp Maple syrup, 1/4 cup Coconut cream ( the creamy part from a can of full fat coconut milk can), and a good pinch of sea salt. Simmer over low-medium heat until boiling and then thickened slightly. a few mins. Refrigerate to thicken more before using.
