- Almond butter thinned with almond milk and honey
- Shredded coconut
- Mini chocolate chips I use enjoy life
- Paleo caramel recipe below
Dairy Free Caramel:
- 1 c coconut milk full fat or lite
- 1/2 c coconut sugar brown sugar would also work
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Apple Nachos:
-
Slice apples and layer evenly on a plate or tray. Top with toppings and enjoy!
Dairy Free Caramel:
-
In a small pot over medium heat mix coconut sugar, water, and lemon juice and bring to a boil
-
Immediately add coconut milk (pouring slowly), salt, and vanilla
-
Whisk well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid becomes thick and dark
-
Be sure to stir occasionally and scrape the edges of the pot with a rubber spatula to avoid burning
-
Remove from heat once thickened and cool to room temperature
-
If using brown sugar you may need to thicken a bit more. Add 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch blended with 1 1/2 tbsp cold water and add slowly to caramel
-
Whisking until well blended. Bring to a boil and remove once desired thickness is acheived
-
For best results store caramel overnight and serve the next day
-
This recipe tastes like rich toffee and is in my opinion even better than the norm with less fat, sugar and calories! Enjoy!
