Thank you! For my favourite coconut poke cake, cream of coconut is a must but it's so damn hard to find any in Europe. Now I can make my own and can bake happily ever after

I totally see Coco Lopez as more of a coconut simple syrup now, great vid!

love the bloopers need more of those. I wasn't ready for you swearing and it made me laugh before I've had my coffee which is not easy.

Looks super easy. I got some organic coconut cream - will give it a try. Thanks a lot.

The Smuggler's Cove book makes a similar version (although they use 2 to 1 Simple Syrup instead of Sugar) and they say in the fridge, 3 weeks. The sugar, heating and refrigeration likely helps it keep (although it may separate in the fridge, facilitating having to shake it).

Love the bloopers! Thanks for the vid

Dude this is brilliant! I can't get cream of coconut where I live so will try it. Thanks, greetings from Germany!👍🍻

I could've saved so much on buying the stuff at my local liquor store, it even looks the exact same. I will from now on though. Thanks Steve!

Mine have lasted about 2 weeks in the fridge but I’ve heard if you spike it with about 45ml of vodka it will extend the age of it.

Like other syrups could fortify it with a spirit. An oz (30ml) white rum would not be a bad idea. It may be a simple recipe but until seen sometimes it can be overwhelming. Good job explaining some key steps.

Hey Steve! In Brazil, coconut milk is sold a little creamier and thicker than what's found abroad. Does it affect this recipy somehow? Do I have to boil it for longer? Thanks!

On the lime cordial the citric acid was used to stop the cordial from going bad. Is it not needed in other syrups?

Apparently, making cream of coconut brings out the southern twang Steve never knew he had. 4:42

Sugar is a preservative; if you sterilize the glass jar by boiling, and then sealing with a lid (also boiled), letting it all cool. Then treat it like any preserves, by keeping it in the refrigerator after opening. Though, this is only my opinion. Cheers! ⬛️

Can this be done with sweetener

Some thoughts about how long could you store it: you should be able to store for relatively lot of time before the first opening of the jar because you closed it warm and once it cools down, there is a good vacuum in the jar, which preserves it for quite a long time. But after that, it better to use it inside a week.

Thanks for this video, it's great. :-) I was thinking about making it last longer with alcohol like rum or vodka but I am not sure what amount is suficient. Do you have any experience with this? I found some recipes for Coconut liqueur but they all have milk and cream in it.
