2. After 30 minutes, remove the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 40 minutes. If using a mixer, 19 minutes should be sufficient. In a pot, dissolve the brown sugar and coconut milk over heat. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the heavy cream, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
