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.
- 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.
