What is coconut sugar?
Coconut sugar is sugar that comes from the sap of a coconut palm. It is produced mainly in Southeast Asia by heating the sap until it reduces, leaving a caramel-coloured sugar behind. It is similar in flavour to brown sugar.

Coconut sugar recipes
Self-saucing caramel-coconut pudding
Once this pudding goes in the oven, the dense, coconut-crumbed top rises to the surface while a molten, vanilla-scented caramel sauce is created underneath.
Healthy blondies
We've put a vegan spin on blondies, using coconut sugar for a caramelised flavour, coconut milk for a creamy texture and blueberries for a fruity zing.
Iced chai latte
This Indian-inspired latte uses darjeeling tea, black pepper, cinnamon and hazelnut milk to create a wonderfully nutty and aromatic complexity.
