How to Make Coconut Syrup

In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut cream, 1 cup flaked coconut, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (be cautious of hot liquids!).
Puree until completely smooth and creamy.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any coconut flakes for a smoother consistency (optional).
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
