In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer.
Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Let the caramel sauce cool for 10-15 minutes. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
Transfer the sauce to a glass jar or an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Warm the sauce gently before using, if needed, to return it to a pourable consistency.
