Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup preferably dark
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free option
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp sea salt optional but recommended
Instructions
Enable step-by-step mode- Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it lightly with cooking spray or coconut oil
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, butter (or coconut oil), coconut milk, and sea salt
- Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and keep stirring gently
- Cook the caramel until it reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer (may take 20-30 minutes)
- If you don’t have a thermometer, use the cold water test: drop a bit of caramel into ice water — it should form a soft, pliable ball when ready!!
- Carefully pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly
- Let it cool at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set
- Use a sharp knife or greased pizza cutter to cut the caramel into squares or rectangles
- Wrap each piece inparchment or wax paper for easy storage
