Ingredients

Instructions

  • Chill the coconut milk can in the fridge overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
  • Before whipping, place a large mixing bowl and the beaters of your hand or stand mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
  • Carefully open the can of coconut milk without shaking it, and remove the lid. You'll find a thick layer of coconut cream on top. Gently scoop out the coconut cream solids, leaving the liquid behind. You can reserve the liquid for future smoothies or other recipes.
  • Using a hand or standing mixer, beat the coconut cream for one minute or until fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. To ensure a smooth texture, I recommend sifting in the sugar.
  • Beat for an additional minute or until smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Brand: Choose a high-quality full-fat canned coconut milk for the best results. Brands like Arroy-D, 365 Whole Foods, and Native Forest are reliable options.
  • Chill Everything: Before whipping, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This helps maintain a cold environment for optimal whipped cream texture.
  • Don't Overbeat: Stop beating the cream as soon as it reaches a fluffy and smooth consistency. Over-beating can cause the cream to become grainy.
  • Adjusting Texture: To adjust texture, blend in reserved coconut water gradually if it's too thick, adding it bit by bit until desired consistency.
  • Plan Ahead for Best Results: For best results, make the whipped cream a day ahead. Refrigerate in an airtight container and gently stir before serving.
