One of my favorite drinks is a Pina Colada and everyone knows that you need Coco Lopez to make a Pina Colada. Wrong! You can make your own DIY version of Coco Lopez coconut cream at home in less than 5 minutes because Coco Lopez and all other Coconut Creams are just coconut simple syrups. Join me in making this quick coconut cream for a fraction of the price of buying Coco Lopez. You can use your savings to buy a better quality of rum for your Pina Coladas.
Ingredients:
14 ounce can of coconut cream
1 and 3/4 cup of white sugar
Directions:
- Mix coconut cream and white sugar in a small pot.
- Bring to simmer and stir until all sugar is dissolved. About 3-4 minutes.
- remove from heat and place into a storage container until you are ready to use.
Since this is a simple syrup it can last in our refrigerator for up to one month.
