Ingredients
 
 

  • 60 g soft light brown sugar
  • 260 ml dairy free cream
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the brown sugar and a dash of the cream to a heavy bottomed saucepan (just enough cream to stir the sugar into). Bring the mixture to the boil and boil for 2 minutes.
    60 g soft light brown sugar
  • Add the rest of the cream, stir in and boil until it is the consistency you are looking for. For a drizzle-sauce consistency around 15 minutes should work well, for a thicker banoffee pie layer, try 25-30 minutes.
    260 ml dairy free cream
  • Stir in a pinch of salt to taste, if you'd like salted caramel.
    1 pinch salt (optional)

* I have tried this with Elmlea Plant and Alpro Soya cream which are both available in the UK. Both work wonderfully although my preference for this recipe is Elmlea. You can use coconut cream but it will not taste like a traditional caramel, it will have a coconut flavour to it.
