 ===== Ingredients =====
-  * heaping 1/3 c. brown sugar substitute (I use [[https://www.amazon.com/Swerve-Replacement-Sweetener-Substitute-Non-Glycemic/dp/B0C2RH34PR|Swerve brown sugar substitute]])
+  * 2 small cans (5.4 oz. size) coconut cream
-  * 1 recipe [[sugar_free_condensed_coconut_milk|sugar-free condensed coconut milk]] (~6 fl. oz.)
+  * 3/4 cup brown sugar substitute (I use [[https://www.amazon.com/Swerve-Replacement-Sweetener-Substitute-Non-Glycemic/dp/B0C2RH34PR|Swerve brown sugar substitute]])
-  * 1/8 t. salt
+  * 1/4 t. salt
 ===== Directions =====
-  * Heat a pot over medium high heat. Add the sugar substitute and stir around the pot for about 1 minute to heat through.
+  * In a small pan or pot, add the coconut cream and brown sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly while the coconut cream melts. The mixture will get bubbly and almost foamy. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir frequently for about 5-10 minutes.
-  * Add the coconut milk and and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, until sauce is slightly foamy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
+  * Remove from heat. The caramel can be used immediately, or let it cool and it will thicken considerably. Each time you go to use it, give it a good stir. Store leftover caramel in a covered glass container in the refrigerator for about a week.
+===== Notes =====
+  * The directions above are from the Nora Cooks website. I did mine on a simmer for ~5 min. and allowed it to cool for ~20 min. I would not say it "thickened considerably" (it was honestly pretty fucking runny) but it is DELICIOUS and it honestly doesn't matter for what I was using it for if it was a bit runny (better than too thick). However, if you actually want it to be thick like a caramel sauce, I would simmer it for longer, and also allow it cool completely (maybe make it the day before and refrigerate it).
