Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup (optional for extra thickness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Allow the coconut syrup to cool to room temperature; it will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, fruit, or desserts for a tropical twist.
