Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (400 ml) Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the coconut milk mixture to avoid lumps.
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a container with a lid and refrigerate for up to 5 days if not using immediately.
