Ingredients
Vegan Salted Caramel¾ cup coconut cream, scooped from the top of a full-fat can of coconut milk
¾ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon sea salt
Vegan Skillet Brownie
¾ cup So Delicious Salted Caramel Cluster Frozen Dessert
⅓ cup coconut oil
½ cup dark chocolate chips
¾ cup all-purpose flour, sub gluten-free, if needed
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup toasted cashews
Method* Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease (with coconut oil) and flour a 9″ skillet.
* Heat the coconut cream, brown sugar, and salt in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat.
* You want it to continue to boil, but not boil over. Let the caramel boil for 5 minutes, without stirring, then remove it from the heat.
* While the caramel is cooking, start the brownies. Place the So Delicious in a large bowl and set it aside. Melt the coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat.
* Add the chocolate chips and whisk until melted. Pour into the bowl with the So Delicious, add ¼ cup water, and whisk to combine.
* In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Pour into the large bowl and stir into the batter. Fold in the cashews.
* Spread half the batter in the prepared skillet. Cover with ⅓ of the caramel sauce then top the caramel with the remaining batter.
* The batter is quite thick so you will need to spread it out. Place 6 dollops of the caramel sauce on the top then take a knife and run it through the caramel and batter to create swirls.
* Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are just barely cooked through. Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before you cut into them and serve with some So Delicious on the side.
