If you lead a plant-based lifestyle, you might be missing the gooey sweetness of caramel. Or perhaps you’re just looking to cut down your butter intake and find a healthier alternative. Our vegan caramel is made with just three natural ingredients—tahini, silan, and sea salt.
Tahini is a thick sesame seed paste used widely in Middle Eastern cooking. Silan is an antioxidant-rich liquid sweetener made from sun ripened dates. And the sea salt adds that delicious salted caramel flavor that we all know and love!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup high quality tahini
- 3-4 tablespoons silan (Middle Eastern date syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon seasalt
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients.
- Use a whisk to combine the tahini and the silan. It will become stiff and difficult to mix. At this point add a splash of cold water and whisk well. Continue to add water and whisk until the tahini becomes a gooey caramel-like texture.
- Taste to check if the sweet and salty levels are good for you, and add more silan and salt accordingly.
- Transfer the tahini caramel to a sterilized jar and store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy delicious tahini caramel on toast, in desserts, or simply off the spoon!
