Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
Once fully chilled, carefully open the can without shaking it or turning it upside down.
Scoop out the thick cream that has solidified at the top of the can and transfer it to a mixing bowl. You should be left with about 3/4 cup of coconut cream. Discard or save the remaining liquid for another use.
Using an electric mixer, beat the coconut cream on medium-high speed until it becomes fluffy and soft peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to whip the mixture until well combined and still maintaining soft peaks.
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Serve immediately to top desserts, fruits, or beverages. Alternatively, transfer the whipped cream to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
