Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla-flavored, plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
Chill a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This will separate the coconut cream from the liquid.
Before starting, place a mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
Open the chilled can of coconut milk and carefully scoop the solidified coconut cream into the chilled mixing bowl, discarding or saving the coconut water for another use.
Add the vanilla-flavored plant-based protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar to the bowl.
Using the electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Be cautious not to over-beat the mixture as it can cause separation.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup, a half teaspoon at a time.
Transfer the high protein coconut whipped cream to a serving bowl and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve as a topping for desserts, fresh fruit, or enjoy it by itself.
