Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to chill. This helps the cream separate from the liquid.
Once chilled, open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the solidified coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Avoid including the liquid at the bottom of the can.
Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl with the coconut cream.
Using an electric mixer, whisk the ingredients on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar, one teaspoon at a time.
Once whipped to your desired consistency, the whipped cream is ready. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
If storing, re-whip lightly before serving as it may lose some of its fluffiness in the fridge.
