Coconut Dulce de Leche

Dulce de leche is a treat made by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a substance that derives its flavour from the Maillard reaction, (which also changes its colour). If you're looking to impress this Valentine's Day - you can make this ahead of time and serve this up at home (or as a small, portable picnic treat)!
