Step 1
Remove plant-based butter from the refrigerator and allow it to reach room temperature to soften.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 3
Once the plant-based butter is softened, mix it with flour, Florida Crystals® Organic Light Brown Raw Cane Sugar, and salt in a bowl with a mixer or food processor until crumbly.
Step 4
Press mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking pan.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until the crust does not lose shape if poked with a spatula.
Step 6
While this is baking, prepare the walnut filling.
Step 7
Start by crushing walnuts in a food processor.
Step 8
Add walnuts to a large pan with plant-based butter, Florida Crystals® Organic Light Brown Raw Cane Sugar, vanilla, and non-dairy milk.
Step 9
Allow this to cook on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes while the crust is baking. Let it cook until the sugar forms a caramel consistency, then turn off the heat.
Step 10
Remove crust from oven and pour caramelized walnuts over top while they are still hot.
Step 11
Let sit for about 10 minutes until it firms up. Enjoy!
You can break the walnuts by placing in a bag and crushing under the weight of a heavy bowl. Less clean up!
Serve with vegan vanilla ice cream while still hot.
