Lavender Toffee Sauce

 
Oh Boy...Toffee Sauce.  While some call it Toffee Sauce, others call it caramel sauce but I call it Heaven on Earth. Yes, there's nothing better to dip a nice tart apple into, drizzle over your favorite ice cream or eat right off the spoon. This recipe is for two servings but let's be honest, it's really for one. I had good intentions on sharing but once it was made and my family still hadn't made it home, I noticed slowly but surely, it dwindled down until every bit was gone. I don't know why but it just happened this way.  This dairy free option for heavenly goodness is going to make you go back for seconds and then, you'll need to make a second batch for your family and friends to try. Or just make a bunch of this from the get go. You can double the recipe easily. Make this yummy treat right in your microwave in minutes.


Look at those beautiful bits of vanilla bean seeds peeking through this caramel-y goodness. Be still my heart!

 
Lavender Toffee Sauce Recipe
 
(recipe for 2-4, but can be doubled for 4-8)
 
2 Tbs Vegan Butter
1/3 C Brown Sugar
1/3 C Canned Coconut Milk, using the cream on top ( It's best to use a high quality with thick cream on top)
1/4 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
Pinch Salt
Pinch dried and finely pulverized lavender ( I use a coffee grinder for mine)
 
In a microwave safe bowl, melt vegan butter.  Add brown sugar, coconut milk cream and stir.  Microwave for 2 minutes.  Stir. Microwave for another  1- 1 1/2 minutes depending on your microwave.  Add the vanilla, pinch salt, lavender and stir.  Let sit on the counter for about 5 minutes.  Once it starts to cool, it will thicken.  Add apples, cake, cupcakes...pretty much anything you want to coat in a delicious toffee caramel or just add a spoon. You'll thank me later.
