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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally as it heats.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and coconut oil to the saucepan and stir until the oil has completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the natural sweetener of your choice, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired level of sweetness. Continue to whisk until fully dissolved.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

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.
