🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

Firstly to prepare your Coconut Syrup, add the salted butter and sugar to a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Then give your can of coconut milk a good shake, measure the milk and add to the mixture.

Stir everything together until the sugar has fully dissolved and the syrup comes to a boil. Allow the syrup to boil for one full minute. Then remove your pan from the heat. This is important! You want to be careful not to boil the syrup for too long otherwise it will begin to crystalize.

Afterwards add the vanilla and baking soda to the mixture. Stir everything together and watch for the magic to happen. The syrup will foam up and double in size. My kids love to watch the baking soda reaction here.

Give your Coconut Syrup a final stir and enjoy it warm! Remember your Coconut Syrup will thicken as it continues to cool down. If you prefer a thicker syrup allow it to cool a few minutes before serving.

💭 Top Tips

Heat: As mentioned, be careful when making your homemade Coconut Syrup to not keep it on the heat for too long, otherwise it will begin to crystalize.

Doubling: This recipe is great for doubling! For a sweet and simple homemade gift, try pouring it into little jars to share with friends. They are sure to love it's silky-smooth texture and sweet tropical flavor.

🍽 Storing

Any leftover syrup should be refrigerated. If looking for a cute and sensible syrup dispenser check this one out! I love that you can warm the syrup right up there in the dispenser.

Coconut Syrup will keep in the fridge for just over a week. When ready to serve again, pull from fridge and let warm over low heat on the stove or in 15 second intervals in the microwave stirring between and enjoy!

Keep in mind the butter might separate a little when cooled. But don't worry, just reheat and stir together to continue enjoying.

You can also freeze your homemade coconut syrup in an airtight container if you want to keep it longer. If frozen the syrup will last for up to 6 months. When you are ready to use it just pull it out and thaw to then warm over low heat.
