What is Coconut Whipped Cream?

Coconut whipped cream is a delicious and dairy-free alternative to traditional whipped cream. It is made from the thick and creamy part of coconut milk or coconut cream.

To make coconut whipped cream, you'll need a can of full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream that has been refrigerated overnight. The cold temperature helps the cream separate from the liquid.

When you open the can, you'll notice that the cream has risen to the top and become solid. This is what you'll be using to make the coconut whipped cream.

Coconut whipped cream has a light and fluffy texture and a subtle coconut flavor. It's perfect for topping vegan and non-dairy desserts.

How to Make Coconut Whipped Cream

To make coconut whipped cream, follow these simple steps:

1. Start by refrigerating a can of full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream overnight.

2. Once chilled, open the can and scoop out the solidified coconut cream. Be careful not to include any of the liquid at the bottom of the can.

3. Place the coconut cream in a mixing bowl and beat it on high speed using an electric mixer for about 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy.

4. Optional: Sweeten the whipped cream by adding powdered sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste. You can also add vanilla extract for extra flavor.

5. Continue beating the coconut cream for another 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are well combined and the whipped cream reaches your desired consistency.

6. Once ready, the coconut whipped cream can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator until needed. It will firm up slightly when chilled.
