Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry, ensuring no lumps remain. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, slowly add the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly to ensure it incorporates smoothly.
Continue to cook the syrup over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the syrup thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. The syrup should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes. As it cools, it will thicken further.
Transfer the syrup to a serving container or bottle. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Store any leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving, adding a splash of water if needed to adjust consistency.
