Ingredients: Sweetened condensed coconut milk — There are a few different businesses that make this, and you can typically buy it in the organic department of your local supermarket where I shop.

The steps to making a dairy free vegan caramel sauce are as follows: Combine the constituent parts. To begin, put all of your ingredients into a big saucepan and mix them. While you whisk them together to incorporate the ingredients, heat the pan to medium. Keep at it with the whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved and the vegan butter is completely melted. Bring the caramel to a low simmer. Allow the caramel to cook on the stovetop over medium heat for approximately twenty minutes. This will gradually cause the sauce to thicken, and at the same time, it will allow the water content to evaporate. Let it cool. After twenty minutes, take the pan off the heat and whisk in the vanilla essence while it is still warm. After that, pour the caramel sauce into a container that can withstand heat, such as a mason jar or a glass container, and set it aside to cool. 
This will take some time, and the caramel – particularly the oils from the coconut milk – requires that time to thicken. Because coconut is extremely temperature sensitive and takes some time to re-solidify after being heated, you shouldn't freak out if it appears to have lost its consistency after being heated. It will make it in the end. Frequently Asked Questions and Tips on How to Make Salted Caramel Sauce: Is there an alternative to condensed milk that does not contain dairy? Yes.
