Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This is crucial because chilling allows the cream to separate from the liquid.
Before starting, chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. A cold bowl will help the cream whip better.
Open the chilled can of coconut milk carefully without shaking it.
Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the top and place it into the chilled mixing bowl. Discard the liquid portion or save it for another use like smoothies.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, begin whipping the coconut cream on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Whip the mixture again on medium-high speed for another 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar incrementally.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, re-whipping if necessary before serving.
