I made this several years ago to go with banana pancakes for my mom's birthday. Even though I didn't blend it (didn't want to wake up the 3rd shift worker sleeping upstairs), it came out great. I didn't have anything to compare it to, but Mom had tried it in Hawaii and approved this version.

This was great!! I had coconut syrup from Hawaii when I was a kid and I never stopped thinking about it. I found this and decided to make it. One thing I must say is use C&H Brown Sugar, no fake imitations! Also use the best coconut you can get your hands on, not the store brand stuff. Yum!! I want to use this for Rum drinks too!

I was getting ready to make this when I realized that the ingredients list calls for "coconut milk" and the directions refer to "coconut cream" There's a big difference in the 2 so I'm not sure which to use. Anyone? I gave it 3 stars anticipating it will be as wonderful as the other reviews say.

This is so much better than the so called Coconut Syrup one gets in Hawaii ... You can actually taste the coconut !... I used an immersion "stick" blender before cooking the Coconut Milk, Coconut and Sugar, and the coconut is barely perceptible ... I changed the recipe by using plain White Sugar instead of Brown Sugar to keep the syrup white, as opposed to having the final product, tan ... A bit more appealing to me and mine ... Sooooooooooo GOOD ...

This recipe is soooo delicious! My husband and I love coconut so this was right up our alley. I did strain the coconut at the end and it was perfect!!

A little sweet, but all I could find was sweetened coconut. With sweetened coconut, I'd use more coconut milk, and about 2/3rds the amount of sugar, which I'll try next time I make it. Other than that the reason this gets 4 stars is for the texture with the coconut pieces, which limits it's uses as a syrup a bit. Next time I'll put it through the blender and see what happens. I made this with buttery crepes, and the taste was pretty gorgeous.

This was really good and really rich. My 12 year old wanted to eat it by the spoonful. I used coconut powder and used my immersion blender to puree it.

Reading these reviews got me super pumped to try it! I wonder how it would change the recipe to use fresh coconut milk. I am not very experienced in the kitchen... any advice?
