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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 4
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the coconut milk mixture to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a container with a lid and refrigerate for up to 5 days if not using immediately.
