Fry Bread with Burnt Caramel Cream Cheese Drizzle
Burnt Caramel Cream Cheese Drizzle
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 Tbsp vegan butter
1/2 cup full fat coconut cream
1 tsp salt
240g Angel Food cream cheese (at room temperature)
Heat both sugars in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
To give it a slightly burnt flavour, take it to the point where you just start to smell the sugar burning (don’t go too far!)
Once sugar is completely melted, immediately stir in the butter until melted and combined.
After the butter has melted and combined with the caramelized sugar, stir constantly as you very slowly pour in the coconut cream. Since the cream is colder than the hot caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble when added. After all the cream has been added, stop stirring and allow to boil for 30 seconds. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
Remove from heat and stir in the salt.
Allow to cool down to room temperature before adding to bowl with cream cheese, giving it a good mix with an electric beater or stand mixer.
