Sweet Coconut Butter Sauce

When I lived in Hawaii, there was this dead-sweet coconut syrup that I bought for ladling over pancakes. Yes, ladling…I was a hopeless sugar addict and loved the stuff. Here’s something else entirely, but it’s very tasty, and it’s very good drizzled over crispy protein waffles.

Sweet Coconut Sauce
Yield: 5 servings, of 2 tablespoons each

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream (skimmed from the top of canned coconut milk)
2 tablespoons grass-fed butter, melted (vegan: add 2 T. more coconut cream)
2 drops liquid stevia glycerite
1-2 drops Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract
1 drop LorAnn Oils coconut oil (optional, bumps up the coconut-iness)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

Whisk everything together. Taste. Add more stevia and/or coconut oil drops, depending on your taste. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the xanthan gum…blend… and keep adding little bits at a time until your desired thickness is reached. Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, a spicy Minute Muffin, whatever takes your fancy!
