I took my sweet ass time before filming this for you guys! My bad! Incredibly simple but very tasty (probably because of the tonne of sugar that it contains)... it makes a very, very tasty Painkiller, Pina Colada and Batida (stay tuned for that recipe).. - COCKTAIL APP: bit.ly/get-cocktails-app - MERCH GIVEAWAY: bit.ly/STB-apron
@@StevetheBartender_ .. instead of the sugar .. or perhaps to reduce the crystalline sugar ingredient .. i was going to experiment and put in a couple of ounces of sweet condensed milk
The Smuggler's Cove book makes a similar version (although they use 2 to 1 Simple Syrup instead of Sugar) and they say in the fridge, 3 weeks. The sugar, heating and refrigeration likely helps it keep (although it may separate in the fridge, facilitating having to shake it).
Steve the Bartender yes and cheaper than trying to buy Coco Lopez here in Oz. The latest batch I tried it with the additional Coconut powder but haven’t noticed any difference. Mine have lasted about 2 weeks in the fridge but I’ve heard if you spike it with about 45ml of vodka it will extend the age of it.
Thank you! For my favourite coconut poke cake, cream of coconut is a must but it's so damn hard to find any in Europe. Now I can make my own and can bake happily ever after
Thanks for this video! I've made this up a few times and found it stores well for 2-3 weeks in the fridge,a really clean storage container being key to start.Cheers man!
Without or with an additional shot of rum? Reason I ask I can’t get mine to last as it is sooo good and disappears quickly. Many tiki drink I make without spirits for the younglings thus this disappears.
Sweet Lord Almighty !! Yes, thank you so much for sharing this. Just discovered the Painkiller this year. Its been on a heavy rotation lately to say the least . Having a really hard time finding CoCo Lopez and the last few cans I found , when opened , the coconut cream was a dark gray color. Can not wait to try this.
@@Mr371312 I've had no problems using coconut syrup stored in a refrigerator out to 3-4 weeks, at which point I toss it. Still looks, smells and tastes fine.
Thank you SO much for making this video! I have been searching for the perfect coconut cream recipe. I can't stand the flavor of the store-bought stuff, and the list of additives/preservatives makes me nervous. Now, I can finally make the most delicious pina coladas!!
Hahaha. I literally commented on your painkiller video about an hour ago asking you if you were going to make this video. What are the odds??? Thanks Steve. Also if you wanted a cocktail to make a video with this.... a lava flow would be perfect ;)
Like other syrups could fortify it with a spirit. An oz (30ml) white rum would not be a bad idea. It may be a simple recipe but until seen sometimes it can be overwhelming. Good job explaining some key steps.
I’ve made this exact recipe a few times last summer... I pushed it to 2 weeks in the fridge without issue.. but after a few days, the fat did separate and harden, just had to shake it before using
Sugar is a preservative; if you sterilize the glass jar by boiling, and then sealing with a lid (also boiled), letting it all cool. Then treat it like any preserves, by keeping it in the refrigerator after opening. Though, this is only my opinion. Cheers! ⬛️
Yep, but I’d go for a high proof rum though given that most drinks you’ll use it for are rum based.. there’s a tonne of sugar in it so I wouldn’t be surprised if you get at least a couple weeks out of it.
So- I have been planning to make pina colada for the first time since last week but my dumb ass thought cream of coconut and coconut cream are the same thing all this time. Now when I am actually ready to make it, I was panicking because I only have coconut cream and coconut milk. Steve the Bartender come to rescue! Thank you Steve the Savior! lol.
Some thoughts about how long could you store it: you should be able to store for relatively lot of time before the first opening of the jar because you closed it warm and once it cools down, there is a good vacuum in the jar, which preserves it for quite a long time. But after that, it better to use it inside a week.
this is a lifesaver, where i live you can't get cocolopez... I used to use another similar product from an Italian company pulpIT (they make a lot of great cocktail mixers) but I'm not sure if the company closed down or the product got discontinued cos I can't find it anymore. Love the app btw
Just waiting for it to cool then its painkiller time .. I've been using a coconut cream called jaja. Basically the same as coco Lopez but can only get it online and super expensive .. so if this works im super happy 😄
We used to be able to get a shelf stable cream of coconut made by Coco Real... but not any more. I'm so glad I found your video and this recipe as it's going to be a time-saver! I'm wondering is coconut powder the same as coconut milk powder? As well, what is the finished volume of this recipe (total ounces)?
My final product came out an odd grayish color, but i did use a more brownish sugar Smells great tho! Update : tastes better than cocolopez and it didn't alter the color of my pain killer!
Hey Steve! In Brazil, coconut milk is sold a little creamier and thicker than what's found abroad. Does it affect this recipy somehow? Do I have to boil it for longer? Thanks!
Excellent, Thank you! But, I wonder, can I cut down on the sugar? That's one of the things I dislike about Coco Lopez. Ever read the can?

Nice. Just an observation; the original recipe from Art of Drink uses coconut cream, not coconut milk which is thinner. I imagine this would affect the final texture and flavour.
“Next, we need to assemble our ingredients, and we’ll need three. Coconut milk, sugar and salt and that is it.” www.artofdrink.com/ingredient/cream-of-coconut-recipe
@@StevetheBartender_ Two sentences later - "For the coconut milk you want the full-fat variety-**sometimes called coconut cream**, confusing yes-no diet or low-calorie stuff." (emphasis mine)
On the website you linked they said that it was 1 1/4 cup of sugar but your recipe is 1 3/4 cup of sugar. In the video it looks like you're using a 2 cup measuring cup, so it also looks like you're using 1 1/4 cup?

@@stephane.foisy.186 I don't add any alcohol to mine,but that would help with preserving it

Still has a tonne of sugar but at least not all the extra random chems!
I made this a month ago and just tasted it, and it still seems fine! Next time I'll make a half batch though. It's also good in coffee
How long did it end up lasting before you had to dump it?
@@am5812 that seems forever ago. It might have been another few weeks. I think I dumped it in the third month but I hadn’t used it for awhile.
As for shelve life: used this for up to 3 months, after that it starts to become a bit too funky 😉
How did you store this? Boil mason jars, pour in the product, close and let it vacuum itself as it cools down?
Lmao u crazy kept using even after it went bad lol
@@zacarchibald3157 I’m not saying I didn’t, but it’s not harmful or bad. When it becomes moldy is a different story obviously.
It should last unopened with a vacuum quite some time. As long as homemade jam I'd say.

love the bloopers need more of those. I wasn't ready for you swearing and it made me laugh before I've had my coffee which is not easy.

No worries James... so easy hey.
It was easy Steve haha, thanks again mate
really practical, gonna try this at home for sure
Thanks for this. I've just been mixing 1:1 coconut cream and simple syrup (also 1:1) but this looks like it will be sweeter and thicker.
That would work just as well 👌

Thank youuuuu. I can’t find cream of coconut anywhere where I live and I’ve been dying for a good homemade pina😂
Hi, may i ask how long can this thing be stored?
Hi, is this version as sweet as coco Lopez?
Thank you for this, the cream of coconut is like impossible to find at any store in my area
Love these DIY videos for that. Was always a pain in the ass finding stuff in the Caribbean. Had to make a lot of stuff

Haha, I know right - finally!
I bought a can of coconut milk light when you promised you'd do this video,does that change anything? Do I need to add more or less of something?
Probably worth a try but it would be better with the additional fat content..
You've just earned a new sub sir
Is it possible to add coconut manna in place of coconut powder
My final product came out an odd grayish color, but i did use a more brownish sugar
Smells great tho!

On the lime cordial the citric acid was used to stop the cordial from going bad. Is it not needed in other syrups?

Can I use brown sugar
I used a can of coco lopez brand coconut milk and it’s not super white. When I did the sugar process it turned a bit brown. Still seems ok though.
Been waiting for this one
No you said it in Blue Hawaii vs Blue Hawaiian video and yesterday I searched your whole channel for this video...😅😅
I realised after I mentioned it but it was too late 🤣
Can you use coconut sugar instead of white sugar?
I’m sure it would work..
We don't really use canned coconut milk here, can I just use the thing we press at home or do I need to make any changes?
How does making smaller batches help With storing? I still have to open that huge can of Coco milk and its going bad in 3 days.
Should it be coconut milk or can you also use coconut cream?
Does anyone know what the shelf life of this is? How long will it last in the refrigerator?

Look out for Pataks or Blue Dragons cream of coconut, you can find it where the curry/asian food section is in the likes of Tesco etc
Same in Australia until somewhat recently..
Steve the Bartender well this is great so thanks so much!
I don't use a lot of cream of coconut in my cocktails, could I just freeze it and defrost when I need it?
I'd recommend simply making a smaller batch.
Hi what brand of Coconut Milk did you use please?
Not sure but try finding one with higher fat content. It usually varies between 5% and 32%.
When I put it in the fridge it becomes very thick. Is it better just leaving it out?
Definitely keep it in the fridge.. 👌
Is it right way as well to mix coconut syrup with regular heavy cream? I did it a couple times and it was fine but not sure it's the same)
Who the hell is Stavros though?Nice one mate!!
This Mrs calls me Stavros all the time 🤣
I want to try this but with Stevia instead to cut down on the refined sugar. Is this possible?
is it the same as coconut syrup ? just in homemade version ?
If you reduce the volume down, could that make it thicker, similar to the consistency of Coco Lopez?
And because of that high sugar content it is not seperating anymore / fat is not hardening?
The key is the low heat which ensures the sugar dissolves without splitting..
Do I just use the liquid from the coconut milk ? And leave the fat
Hey Steve. Does this recipe work with coconut cream
Yep! You can use either... the higher the fat content of the milk / cream, the richer the flavour.
