Heres one I came up for for a vegan caramel slice:
Vegan caramel slice
2 cans of coconut milk
¼ cup golden syrup
60g brown sugar
30g desiccated coconut
or nut meal
50g self-raising flour
1-tablespoon cocoa
42 grams vegan
margarine melted (I used Nuttalex)
15 grams vegan
margarine
1-tablespoon golden
syrup
50grams vegan
chocolate (75% or over is usually vegan)
Method
Pre-heat oven to 180°C (360°F)
Condensed coconut milk
Put the coconut milk and golden syrup in
a medium pot, over a high heat. When the mixture reaches the boil put the heat
on low and let it simmer for around an hour (or until condensed to the texture
of condensed milk)
Base
Meanwhile, stir brown
sugar, desiccated coconut, flour and cocoa in a bowl until well combined. Then
add melted margarine and combine.
Put the mixture into a
prepared baking tin and press down with the back of a spoon or your hands. Bake
for 10-15 minutes.
Caramel
In a medium sized pot
melt the margarine (15g) and golden syrup. Then add the coconut milk mixture,
cook over a medium heat (constantly stirring) for 10 minutes or until
thickened.
Assembly
Pour the caramel onto
the base and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, a border of browned caramel
should form around the edges. Then remove from oven and let cool to room
temperature.
Melt the chocolate,
over a double boiler or in the microwave, once melted pour over the caramel and
put the whole thing into the fridge to set. After just set, around 1 hour, cut
into slices and return to the fridge until fully set.
Makes 12 portions
Unfortunately it was all eaten before i even got a chance to take photos, but this recipe tasted better than most caramel slices I have had and... ITS VEGAN!
Stay tuned for more of my vegan concoctions!
