Salted Raw Collagen Glow Caramel

A Nourishing Staple for Elegant, Wholesome Baking

There is something quietly enchanting about caramel —
the way it pours like golden silk, the way it softens desserts, the way it turns the everyday into something indulgent.

But this caramel was created with a different intention.

This Salted Raw Collagen Glow Caramel is a foundational Bakerlita recipe — one designed not to spike, stress, or overwhelm the body, but to support beauty, balance, and feminine flourishing through thoughtful, glow-worthy ingredients.

Silky, creamy, and luxuriously smooth, it is made without refined sugar, gluten, or dairy — yet offers all the richness and depth of a traditional caramel… and more.

This is the caramel I reach for again and again —
to glaze donuts, fill cakes, swirl into brownies, drizzle over desserts, and yes — even stir into my morning coffee for a nourishing little treat.

This short video walks you through the entire blending process — from soaked cashews to that final satin-smooth pour. Be sure to watch closely, as the magic truly happens in the patience of the blend.

Why This Caramel Is Different

Unlike traditional caramel, which relies on high heat and refined sugar, this raw version is:

• Naturally creamy from soaked cashews
• Sweetened gently for balance, not spikes
• Enhanced with collagen for texture and glow
• Rich in depth from dates, sea salt, and molasses
• Completely sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free

It’s a recipe that loves your body back — and one that becomes more beautiful the more often you use it.

Salted Raw Collagen Glow Caramel – Recipe

You’ll find soaking tips, blending notes, storage guidance, and serving ideas — everything you need to make this caramel flawlessly every time.

 Dry ingredients

• 280g (2 cups) raw cashews soaked overnight

• 210g (1 cup) powdered sweetener - monk fruit, erythritol, xylitol 

• 100g (5-6) Medjool date

• 56g (½ cup) collagen grass-fed 

• 2 teaspoons sea salt

Wet ingredients

18mL (½ cup) coconut oil melted

118mL (½ cup) coconut milk --- full fat in can 

• 30g (2 tablespoons) blackstrap molasses

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 teaspoons caramel extract *optional

Instructions

• Soak the Cashews: Place raw cashews in warm water and soak for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results. This step is essential for achieving a silky, creamy caramel texture.
• Prepare for Blending: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-powered blender.
• Warm Liquids: Ensure the coconut milk is slightly warmed, and the coconut oil is completely melted — this allows the caramel to blend smoothly and evenly.
• Add the Sweetener: Add the powdered sweetener to the blender. Powdered sweetener is key to achieving a smooth caramel with no granular texture.
• Optional Glow Boost: Add collagen peptides if using. Collagen creates a beautiful sticky richness similar to traditional sugar caramel, while adding gentle protein and beauty-supporting benefits.
• Build Caramel Depth: Add the dates, a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, and a small amount of blackstrap molasses. These ingredients work together to create depth, warmth, and true caramel flavor.
• Finish with Flavor: Add pure vanilla extract and, if desired, a small amount of caramel extract to enhance the caramel notes.
• Blend Until Silky: Secure the lid and blend until completely smooth and glossy.The luxury of this caramel comes from patience in the blending process — allow it to blend fully until it pours like satin ribbons from a spoon.
• Store: Pour into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 4 months.

How I Love to Use This Caramel

• Glazing donuts and cakes
• Filling cupcakes and layered desserts
• Drizzling over bars, tarts, and brownies
• Swirling into yogurt or chia puddings
• Stirring into coffee or tea for a gentle indulgence

Once you make it, you’ll find yourself keeping a jar in the fridge — just in case beauty calls.
