Summer time is finally here and the temperatures are heating up. The last thing anyone wants to do is turn on the oven. Coconut milk ice cream topped with a yummy dairy free butterscotch sauce is the perfect treat. I’m always on the lookout for ice cream sauce recipes and easy dessert recipes. There is an old saying that good things come to those who wait. In the process of creating this recipe I almost didn’t wait long enough.
I’m Melissa from The Baked Equation and I’m back again with this amazing dairy free butterscotch sauce. I shared the most amazing (dairy free and gluten free) Espresso and Sea Salt Cookies a couple months ago and I can’t wait to share this dairy free butterscotch sauce with you.
Homemade butterscotch is one of my favorite things. If you have never made it from scratch you are missing out. I thought this luscious dessert sauce would be easy to transform to dairy free. I was very wrong. After seven, yes seven, failed attempts at making the dairy free butterscotch sauce, each worse than the other, I could not decide if I was persistent or just a glutton for punishment.
What is your favorite ice cream topping: Sprinkles, hot fudge, or crushed cookies?

June 3, 2013 at 4:45 pmI didn’t know that you can make your own butterscotch.. I normally just buy off the counter when I need to use it in baking.

Deborah says
June 3, 2013 at 3:50 pmI’d much rather know what’s in my food by making it myself than just buying something from the store with lots of ingredients that you can’t even pronounce. It’s great that you’re sharing these recipes.
