Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
Carefully open the chilled coconut milk can and scoop out the solid cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Discard the liquid or reserve it for another recipe.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the coconut cream on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the whipped coconut cream to prevent lumps. Add the instant coffee or espresso powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whip the mixture on medium-high speed for another 1–2 minutes until well combined and light. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa flavor if needed.
Transfer the coconut mocha topping to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve chilled as a topping for coffee drinks, vegan cakes, or desserts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
