Vegan Ice Cream Sauces, 3 ways - chocolate, caramel and raspberry. Perfect for topping your favorite vegan ice cream and more!

Vegan Ice Cream Sauces - chocolate, caramel and raspberry

Happy Summer friends!

Living in Florida, ice cream and popsicles (and central air!) are how we get through the hot, sticky days of summer. And what's better on a nice bowl of creamy sweet ice cream than a delicious sauce?! So, today I'm sharing a trio of simple, crave able vegan ice cream sauces perfect for all your ice cream topping needs.

Vegan Ice Cream Sauces -3 ways

Raspberry, chocolate and caramel are pretty much the perfect flavors to go with nearly any ice cream. Pictured above are mint chip with raspberry, cookie dough with chocolate and rocky road with caramel.

And each of these sauces are incredibly simple, requiring just a few ingredients and not a lot of time to whip up.

Vegan Raspberry Ice Cream Sauce

Ok, normally I'm a chocolate girl, but that raspberry sauce has me swooning. Just look at it, so gorgeous and just tart enough to balance the sweetness of the ice cream. So good. It'd be great on pancakes and waffles and plenty of other desserts too.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Sauce

And speaking of chocolate...this sauce is very similar to the bottled stuff many of us grew up squirting over ice cream and in milk, only better because there are no weird ingredients. You can totally mix this sauce in with your favorite non dairy milk for a yummy, completely vegan glass of chocolate milk too.

When making the chocolate sauce you can choose how sweet you like it. If you prefer dark chocolate as we do, then use the lower amount listed or if milk chocolate is more your taste, use the higher amount listed in the recipe below.

Vegan Caramel Ice Cream Sauce

The caramel sauce takes a bit longer to make than the other two sauces, but still only about 30 minutes. It's totally worth those extra 15 minutes, so dang good!

Canned coconut milk and coconut sugar are the basis. I used full fat coconut milk, but I'm sure you can use lite as well. The sauce will not thicken as much and won't be as rich, but it will still be yummy.

I can think of so many ways to use this oh so delicious caramel sauce too. It'd be great for dipping apple slices or drizzled over brownie sundaes or even with cake as a filling between the layers. Yum!
