This dairy free recipe uses just two ingredients and is ready in a jiffy. It’s tastes like a classic caramel - sweet, creamy and rich with a silky smooth texture which can vary in thickness depending on how long you cook it.
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)

Notes
* 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.Recipe inspired by: England, UKPlease check the allergens on the ingredients you purchase before use.
