Exam period is already here, in my case, state exam period and baking is perfect relax for me, especially now. This week, it´s coconut minicheesecakes with coconut caramel. Yes, that´s right, coconut caramel. Although this collocation may sound weird, the only special thing you need is coconut milk, which is replacement for whipping cream in ordinary caramel sauce recipe and smaller amount of butter. You can use it in soo many ways. Or, if you´re not in mood for doing it, these coconut minicheesecakes are really tasty without caramel as well, after all, they contain cream cheese, mascarpone, whipped cream, and of course, coconut. So yummy.

Caramel: Heat coconut milk with sugar and butter, stir until it starts to boil. Cover not completely with a lid and stir it occasionally during bubbling, for about 25 minutes, until the amount is reduced to about the half of original amount and until it gets gold color. Put it aside and add vanilla extract. Let it cool.
