This is the tastiest
vegan dessert ever ever ever. You have to be very careful when you make the caramel, or it'll be really runny, but even if you aren't paying attention and make it all runny, this is still the tastiest thing on earth. Try putting berries on top.
The recipe is from www.vegweb.com, an excellent repository of all things vegan, and was submitted there by Michelle Aaron.
