Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

13.5-ounce can coconut milk (full fat)
1/4 cup raw honey or maple syrup or 1/3 cup brown sugar or palm sugar

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together the coconut milk and the sweetener of your choice. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking frequently, until a low boil is reached.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the mixture is reduced in volume by 1/3-1/2, has thickened, and is slightly darker than before cooking. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use up to 3 days.


Makes 1 – 1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed coconut milk.
