Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 30 g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 0.25 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 tbsp natural sweetener (such as stevia or monk fruit)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally as it heats.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the shredded coconut to soften.
Add the vanilla extract and coconut oil to the saucepan and stir until the oil has completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Sprinkle in the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce, and whisk vigorously to ensure it is well mixed and no lumps remain. This will thicken the sauce to a creamy consistency.
Stir in the natural sweetener of your choice, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired level of sweetness. Continue to whisk until fully dissolved.
Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container. It can be served warm or cold. If serving later, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before use.
