Ingredients
Vegan Gingerbread Caramels
- 1 cup coconut cream from a can
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Grease it lightly with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut cream, sugar, molasses, and vegan butter. Stir until well combined and the solid components have melted.
- Bring the caramel mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Next, add the ground spices, vanilla, and salt. Stir to combine, then pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Allow it to cool at room temperature for an hour, then transfer it to the fridge to let it set completely. This usually takes around 2 more hours. You can also do this overnight!
- Once the mixture has set, lift the caramel out of the baking pan by grabbing the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut the caramel into small squares using a sharp knife. Dust them all with powdered sugar to prevent sticking!
- Enjoy the caramels immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for up to two weeks.
