How to Make Sweet Coconut Sauce

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large egg yolks, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle bubble, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut, and 1/4 cup coconut cream.
  4. Serve warm over your favorite dessert. Drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra special touch!
  5. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
