Raw Caramel Chips
Description
It seems as though Lisa Pitman of Vegan Culinary Crusade has the will to find a way to re-create pretty much anything when it comes to wholesome food. We all know that chocolate chips are possible on a raw vegan diet, but what about caramel? Lisa shows us that the answer is Yes! These decadent little caramel chips make a great alternative to cacao based chocolate chips as something different to try or as a substitute if you are sensitive to cacao. Lucuma is an amazing Peruvian super-fruit that adds a great sweet caramel flavor to recipes, perfect for these caramel chips! Read on for the simple recipe.
