Ingredients
- 13.5 oz Coconut Milk canned
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1/2 cup roasted pecans course chopped
Cake (makes One 9" layer cake)
Instructions
-
Put the coconut milk and the maple syrup in a small pot on medium high and simmer until it's reduced by half. This can vary quite a bit. It took me 20 minutes but some readers have shared it takes 1 hour to 2 hours.
-
Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla, sea salt, and coconut flakes. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. The coconut flakes will absorb some of the water and thicken it.
-
Lastly add in the chopped pecans

Enjoy!
