I’m not sure what “golden syrup” is. Can you explain it a little further?
Most likely Agave.
Rebekka, I answered your question but forgot to make it a reply to you… see below. 🙂
I wish you’d include the nutritional breakdown for your recipes. I can figure it out, but it’d be really handy if you would do it. And does coconut milk come in different sized cans?
I have only seen coconut milk in the standard 15-1/2 oz can.
Hi Pat, we will be adding the nutritional info in the near future. x
Lyles Golden Syrup is easily available online, via Amazon or others. It’s sold in World Market stores, and in many grocery stores as well. It’s an amber colored thick liquid, looking similar to honey or agave but the taste is different. It’s a byproduct from the cane sugar processing. (I think) I’d say find it if you can, anything else will change the taste of such a simple recipe, and this recipe looks delicious!
Is the can “Cream of Coconut” that has sugar in it, as an ingredient in pina coladas? Or is it something else?
@Curlytop, The can will say “Coconut Milk”. I usually have no trouble finding it in the Thai or Asian section of my grocery store. As you mentioned, the Cream of Coconut has sugar and is not the same. Make sure it’s not “Lite/Light Coconut Milk”. Do NOT shake the can first. After it’s refrigerated you can remove the top of the can, you will see a thick layer of “cream” on the top, which is what you want for your recipe.
Eu am fost la Olanesti …asa ad hoc …acum vreo 4 ani !!! super fain.Am tras o betie cu amici mei in turnu’ ala de unde poti vedea toata panorama …..imprejurimile sunt de vis , oamenii f primitori , ne-am cazat la o pensiune cocheta si haioasa , per total …..nice memories
What do you mean by “cream only”? I know you can get canned coconut milk but creamed? Thanks.
@Cheryl, it’s just plain (not lite) coconut milk. After refrigeration the “cream” goes to the top and becomes firm, you can scoop it off the top for use in the recipe. You can add the water that is left in the can to a smoothie, curry, soup or dessert recipe.
Could you please include the mL amount of what ‘can of coconut milk’ means for this recipe. Thanks!
