1 Ingredient Vegan Caramel

1 Ingredient Vegan Caramel

Magic 1 ingredient vegan caramel made with Cakewalk Chicago VEGAN condensed milk! This gooey and thick caramel is similar to dulce de leche and is naturally dairy free and gluten free. ***BE VERY CAREFUL! HOT SUGAR MUST BE HANDLED WITH CARE AND NO DISTRACTIONS!

Ingredients

  • 1 can Cakewalk Chicago condensed milk

Instructions

Stovetop Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add your unopened can of coconut condensed milk and cover with warm water, about 1-2 inches above the can. *** The cans of coconut condensed milk must be covered with water, at least an inch above it.

  • On medium heat, heat up the saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Once it begins to simmer, reduce to low and cover. Simmer for 2-3 hours. The longer you simmer, the darker the caramel.

  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Using tongs, remove the can from the water and submerge in a bowl of cold water. Let sit to cool down. Once cool, carefully open, and transfer to a bowl or jar. ***Do not open the cans when hot. There is a risk of them bursting open, which is unsafe. *** The cans must be cooled before opening.

Slow Cooker Instructions

  • Place the condensed milk in a slow cooker and cover with water, leaving 1-2 inches above the can.

  • Cook on slow for 8-10 hours, 10 hours if you'd like a thicker caramel.

  • Turn off the slow cooker and using tongs, remove the can and submerge in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes, to cool down. Open the can of coconut condensed milk and transfer to a bowl or sealable container. ***Do not open the cans when hot. There is a risk of them bursting open, which is unsafe. *** The cans must be cooled before opening.

Microwave Instructions

  • Open the can. Pour the coconut condensed milk in a large, microwave safe bowl. Cover completely.

  • On 50% power, heat up the condensed milk for 5 minutes, ensuring it doesn't spill over.

  • Remove from the microwave and whisk together. Cover again, and reduce the power to 20-30%. Microwave in 2-3 minute increments, watching carefully to ensure it doesn't spill over. Remove from the microwave once it has reached your desired consistency.
