Description
Want to have your cake and eat it too…with dairy free whipped cream? It’s a delicious plant based alternative. Here’s how to make coconut whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15-ounce can full fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract*
Instructions
- Refrigerate the coconut milk overnight (we just store a few cans in the refrigerator).
- When you’re ready to make it, open the coconut milk and remove the hardened coconut cream on top. It will be in the top half of the can; take care because the liquid will all have separated and be on the bottom half of the can.
- Place only the hardened coconut cream into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a bowl to use with an electric mixer); discard the coconut liquid or use it for another recipe. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Attach the whisk attachment to your mixer and mix on high for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl and mixing again as needed.
