Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
PREP TIME

COOK TIME

MAKES
about 1 cup
Ingredients
1
(14-ounce/397-gram) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup
(100 grams) granulated sugar
Ingredients
- In a medium pot, cook the coconut milk over medium heat until it’s fluid, whisking occasionally until the solids have liquefied and it’s one uniform consistency, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by just over half and is thick enough to coat a spoon, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (I like to place a spatula or spoon—not the stirring utensil I’m using—into the pot at the beginning, to visually mark the height of the liquid, then continue to do this as a check-in until it’s reduced properly.)
- Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
