Easy Vegan Caramels Recipe
How to make the most deliciously easy dairy-free caramels
Equipment
- 1 Sugar Thermometer
- Caramel wrappers
- 1 6" square dish, lined with greaseproof paper (or lightly grease the dish)
Ingredients
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1 cup Cream - vegan, double (I use Elmlea Plant-Based)
- ¾ cup Corn Syrup
- ½ cup Butter - vegan, I used Naturli
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- pinch Sea Salt - optional
Instructions
- Place your sugar thermometer into a medium, heavy saucepan
- Add the sugar, corn syrup and ½ cup of the cream
- Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.
- Add the remaining cream and the butter, gently stir to mix in the melting butter. The mixture should be a rich golden colour now.
- Boil until it reaches 248f (120c) (in between soft and hard ball stage)
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Now pour into your prepared dish and leave to cool completely for at least 3 hours.
- Sprinkle with Sea Salt if using.
- Once cold, turn out onto chopping board and cut into squares of your liking. Wrap in the caramel wrappers.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
