Open the can of coconut milk and the can of cream of coconut carefully.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture.

Mix until you have a homogeneous mixture using a whisk.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat it up, stirring constantly.

Heat for about 5 minutes while continuing to stir to prevent sticking.

Once the mixture starts to thicken at the bottom, turn off the heat.

Pour the mixture into molds or silicone cupcake cups.

Refrigerate until set, preferably overnight, then unmold and serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
