Salted Caramel Brownies

Being able to quickly whip up vegan caramel with a few kitchen essentials is an absolute life-changer. We always keep a hefty store of cashews in the house for this very reason (& for vegan cheese sauce of course!)

Ingredients

450g brownie mix

30g melted margarine

90g boiling water

50g cashews

50g plant-based milk

100g granulated/ caster sugar

Sprinkle of salt

Instructions

To make the caramel:

Soak the cashews in boiling water for 20+ mins (the longer the better)

Blend with the plant-based milk until smooth (add extra dashes of milk if it's stubborn to blend)

Add the sugar to a dry pan on high heat

Stir continuously until it forms a brown viscous liquid

Remove from the heat and add the cashew cream

Stir VERY QUICKLY to combine & prevent any lumps forming

Store in the fridge until ready to use

Preheat the oven to 200'C/180'C fan

In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, margarine and boiling water

Transfer the mix to a lined baking tin so that the mix is 1 inch deep

Swirl in your vegan caramel, sprinkle on some salt and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Allow to cool before cutting.
