Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the saucepan: Select a medium-size saucepan suitable for stovetop cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Melt the butter: Place 1/2 cup of salted butter into the saucepan and melt it over medium heat until fully liquefied.
- Add sugar and liquids: Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted butter to combine thoroughly.
- Cook the mixture: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar evenly and prevent sticking.
- Simmer and thicken: Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for 4 minutes while stirring occasionally to allow the syrup to thicken.
- Cool and store: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly, during which it will thicken further. Transfer the syrup into a heat-safe airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier syrup.
- Stir continuously toward the end to prevent burning or crystallization of sugar.
- The syrup will thicken more as it cools; if it becomes too thick, gently warm it before serving.
- Store syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Can be reheated in the microwave or on the stove for easier pouring.
