vegan carmel sauce

By Jody

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup vanilla or regular soymilk (do not use light)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot flour
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons dairy-free soy margarine, such as Earth Balance
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

1.In a medium saucepan, combine the soymilk, sugar and maple syrup over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, whisking often. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then add to the saucepan. Cook caramel an additional 5 minutes. The mixture will bubble, foam, and thicken somewhat. Remove from heat and whisk in the soy margarine, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Transfer to a heat-proof container and leave the lid ajar until the caramel comes to room temperature. The caramel will continue to thicken as it cools.
