Ingredients:
1 tbsp starch (arrowroot or cornflour)
4 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
400ml tin coconut milk*
Method:
Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir the coconut milk with a spoon as it heats up.
Depending on the canned coconut brand, the coconut milk may be separated into 2 parts: a creamy fatty top and a watery bottom. Combine both into the sauce pan and heat it up and mix it together.
Add the sugar and salt and continue stirring.
Blend your choice of starch with about 2 tbsp water to form a smooth slurry. Add this to the coconut milk.
Keep stirring with a spoon. As the milk heats up it will thicken. Stir out any clumps if they form.
Take off the heat when it's reached your desired consistency.
Let it cool and enjoy with your favourite desserts.
