Coconut Cream is a sweetened version of coconut cream that is often used in
coconut-flavored cocktails and desserts. If you are unable to find it, you can make
your own coconut syrup to use in this recipe. Combine ¼ cup sugar and ¼ cup water
in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add ½ cup unsweetened
coconut flakes. Simmer gently for one more minute, then remove from heat and
allow to steep for about 10 minutes to infuse with coconut flavor. Using a fine mesh
strainer, strain the mixture into a heat-safe container, pressing down on the solids.
Discard solids and use the syrup in place of canned coconut cream.
