COCONUT DESSERT SAUCE
Steps:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, salt, sugar, and water. Place over medium heat and bring to a near-simmer, lowering the heat if the coconut milk spits or pops. Give the cornstarch mixture a good stir and add it to the sauce, mixing well. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until the sauce thickens; then remove from the heat.
- Let the sauce cool, uncovered, to concentrate the flavors before serving. It will keep in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you are serving it warm, reheat gently over low heat.

Steps:
- Whisk coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, shallot, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.
- Do Ahead:
- Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier sauce. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner, less flavorful sauce.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or rice vinegar. However, balsamic vinegar has a unique flavor that will give the sauce its best flavor.
- To make a vegan version of this sauce, use a plant-based milk instead of coconut milk.
- This sauce is also delicious served over grilled vegetables, tofu, or fish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This balsamic coconut milk sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're using it as a marinade, a dipping sauce, or a finishing sauce, this sauce is sure to please.
