Sweet Treat - but healthy and tastey

Apples, sliced and swimming in a sweet sweet caramel sauce and a whipped cream iceberg in the middle! But it's dairy free!

What? But you said whipped cream!

Yes, whipped coconut milk cream!

Ingredients:

Apple

Caramel:
2 tsp water
1/4 cup of raw coconut palm sugar
1/2 cup of coconut milk (full fat)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Whipped cream:
1 tin of coconut milk (full fat)
Drop of vanilla extract
1 tsp of honey

What you need to do

Caramel
Put water and sugar in to a pot on a high heat, stirring constantly, bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat while you add the coconut milk, vanilla extract and salt and stir as it reduces for 10 minutes as the colour darkens.

Whipped cream:
Before you open the tin of coconut milk turn it upside down and back upright to loosen the contents.
Have 2 bowls ready and strain the contents so that it separates the milk from the clotted milk (cream).
Use the clotted cream adding the drop of vanilla extract and honey as you whisk.
