Instructions
Step 1
Pour the coconut cream and coconut sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Whisk frequently until it thickens, about 10 – 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once it’s thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla and sea salt.
Step 4
Once nice and combined, remove from heat and allow it to come to room temperature, Stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Once cool, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3+ hours. If you can leave the caramel for 12 – 24 hours, even better!
Step 6
Make the turtles: heat the chocolate chips for a minute in the microwave.
Step 7
Add the coconut oil and continue to stir until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, make 12 chocolate circles about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 9
Pop in the freezer for a couple minutes for the chocolate to harden.
Step 10
Use a spoon to outline the chocolate circles and place it in the freezer to harden for a minute. This “outline” will create a nice wall so that the caramel won’t pour out the sides.
Step 11
Repeat the outline one more time and place it in the freezer to harden for a minute.
Step 12
Add a scoop of caramel to the center of the chocolate.
Step 13
Top with a pecan.
Step 14
Spoon the chocolate onto the top to cover the caramel and pecan.
Step 15
Place it in the freezer for another minute or two to set the top chocolate.
Step 16
Store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat!
