Ingredients
  

For approx. 200 ml Dulce de Leche:

  • 1 canned coconut milk (400ml) (full-fat, not light or low-fat variety. )
  • 160 g Cane sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla sugar

Instructions
 

  • Mix the coconut milk with cane sugar and vanilla sugar in a small saucepan.
  • Bring the sweet milk mixture to boil briefly while stirring, then reduce the heat immediately.
  • Now let it simmer on a low flame for about 45 minutes until the cream is reduced to a little less than half of its original amount.
    A saucepan with a volume scale on the inside is helpful.
  • Stir frequently so that nothing burns.
  • Then let it cool down completely. The vegetable dulce de leche thickens even further as it cools down.
