Salted Caramel Brownies (Gluten-free & Dairy-free)

After being challenged to create a dairy-free, fudgy brownie, Ashleigh created these. That salted caramel sauce you see also happens to be vegan, made using sweetened and salted coconut cream. However, despite being dairy-free, the brownies themselves contain eggs. But boy are these brownies unbelievably rich, moist and fudgy!
