Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 can coconut cream not coconut milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Pour the coconut cream into a clean jar or bowl.
  • Add the sugar and salt and stir well until fully dissolved.
  • Pour into a clean glass jar and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Some coconut creams will turn slightly grey when mixed with sugar. This is most common with natural, additive-free products that don't contain whitening agents and doesn't affect the flavor.
  • Stir or shake before using as the mixture may separate in the fridge.
  • Full-fat coconut cream gives the best flavor and consistency.
  • Keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.
