Coconut Nectar Caramel Sauce

Kristi's Kitchen

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. coconut nectar (CN)
1/2 -2/3 c. organic heavy cream*
1 tbsp. organic butter*
Pinch of sea salt

Directions:

-Combine nectar and butter in a sauce pan
-Bring to a boil
-Simmer for 5 minutes
-Pour in cream and continue simmering for 5 additional minutes
-Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to taste
-Store in sealed mason jar

This will keep in the refrigerator for a while...to reheat hold the jar in boiling water until it loosens up.

Dip some organic granny smith apple slices...

Serve over frozen Beyond Organic Amasi or your favorite naturally sweetened organic ice cream...sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts and a drizzle of melted Beyond Organic Dark Chocolate and you have the perfect "Turtle Sundae"

*If Casein is an issue for you, you may substitute coconut milk for the cream and coconut oil for the butter with no problem...

This recipe makes a large quantity so, below I have broken down the recipe so you have the option of making smaller quantities at your finger tips...this is so easy and delicious!

Be creative with it!

  1. Hello! Thanks for a great looking recipe. Do you know if I use this sauce to coat nuts and then put them in the oven, if it'll 'harden' a bit....like the coating of caramel corn?
    Thank you!

  2. Hi, Keri!
    Sorry for the delayed response -we have just moved...
    I have not tried what your asking but, I bet it would harden -the nectar is a natural fructose... I would just go low temp and keep an eye on them for the burn factor
