We only have carry-ons when we go to Hawaii so could not bring any syrup home! I was soooo glad to find your recipe, and I love it. Only change I made was to use my hand held smoothie maker to blend in the shredded coconut. I love the taste but not the texture of the shredded coconut! Now it is perfect. Thanks

Yum! I made only 1/2 the recipe since most of my family won't even try this. It turned out a little thin. I'm still hoping it will thicken up. I was too anxious to try it to wait for it to cool so just ate it warm. Delicious! Wish my sister lived close; she would love it! Does it need to be refrigerated? I don't see that in the directions.

Its still not as good as the syrup in Hawaii. My husband and I were very disappointed. I'll try it again though using fresh coconut because we think the sugared coconut is what ruins this recipe.

I did not like this. I couldn't taste the coconut one bit, even the flaked coconut. Maybe it needs some coconut extract.

I've never had or made coconut syrup before so I didn't know what to expect, I made it just as the recipe is written and it was fantastic. We used about 1 ladle full and then I stored it in an empty syrup bottle which it filled. Next time I would try it with a bit less surgar, just seemed a bit overly sweet to me, but hey no one complained! It's a winner.

I kept the 2 TBSP of corn starch and added 1/2 cup of COCA REAL cream of coconut, I also skipped the shredded coconut and added 1 TSP coconut extract! It was awesome! Next I halved the recipe- bottling one ahalf and then I added 1 cup of V8 Splash Smoothies Tropical Coloda and an additional TBSP of corn starch to the other half. This was also a great topping for ice cream. It added additional coconut flavoring and a tang of pineapple! YUM :)

Since German Pancakes or Dutch Babies taste incredible with coconut syrup, I was thrilled to find this recipe. I did tweak it a bit by using a touch of agave (I use organic corn syrup and one bottle was not enough) I also tried coconut sugar this time and WOW! So good!!! I left the coconut out, because I wanted a smooth syrup. This was perfect!

LOVE THIS! We are getting ready for a trip to Hawaii and I wanted to put us in the mood. We've had coconut syrup on the islands before, and this is REALLY close...the only change I made was due to the fact that the store was out of coconut milk. I used something called "COCO Real" cream of coconut. I thought it made the syrup SUPER coconutty! Great recipe, and thanks! Gonna try a sugar free version next...I'll let you know how it works out!

I live in Hawaii and use coconut syrup on my pancakes all the time. This recipe is very good. I used half of the corn starch and the consistency was just right. For those who want to taste the coconut more, add some coconut extract like I did and the coconut flavor will burst through.

Yum! Like everyone else, I had banana pancakes and coconut syrup while on vacation in Hawaii and loved it! This recipe is delicious! Exactly what I was looking for. It's great as is, but I think next time I will try adding some coconut extract for extra coconut flavor.
