  • 2 cans coconut milk, regular
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium pot over medium heat stir coconut milk, sugar, and salt together. Add cinnamon sticks.
  • Spoon a few tablespoons of the coconut milk mixture into a small bowl and stir cornstarch into the mixture to dissolve. Pour into the mixture in the saucepan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Cook until smooth and thick, about 3-5 minutes.
