Dairy-Free Espresso Caramel Sauce is such a yummy and decadent topping for ice cream, over a cake, inside cakes, or as a sweetener for coffee. So flavorful and decadent you won’t believe it. 
This is the best coffee syrup I think I have ever had. This caramel sauce is so soft and decadent. Use as a top for cakes, cookies, muffins, scones, pancakes, crepes, or ice cream. Not to mention, I have accidentally added double the amount of espresso and instant coffee granules with wonderful and tasty results. It all depends on how much coffee flavor you want.
The uses are endless or in Gluten-Free Espresso Chocolate Banana Bread If you are Swedish then you understand the need to Fika. What is Fika? Well, that is a little harder to explain. Fika happens several times a day. It can be alone or with friends. It can be with or without food. But it is the mental, emotional, spiritual state of appreciating the moment you are living in and enjoying it with coffee.
Needless to say, this caramel sauce is perfect as a topping for ice cream, frozen yogurt, yogurt, pancakes, waffles or crepes. Find Canned Coconut Milk and Maple Sugar at Amazon. Sweet Dessert Crepes, Soft Serve Coffee Ice Cream, Gluten-Free Dutch Pancakes, and Gluten-Free Fresh Strawberry Waffles.
