Whipped Coco Vanilla Cream

Coco whip with natural vanilla extract

Dreamy vanilla coco whipped cream

Coconut whipped cream is a perfect substitute of traditional dairy whipped cream in your recipes. A vegan and gluten-free delight, that’s so easy to prepare! Smoother than coconut milk, coconut cream comes from the first extraction of the flesh of the coconut. Rich in fiber and with a low glycemic index, coconut cream adds an exotic twist to snacks and desserts.

Yields: +/- 450ml

Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill your canned coconut milk in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Collect the frozen part (the fat) of the coconut (without the remaining coconut water). If you have pure coconut whipping cream, skip this step and go directly to step 5 in the recipe.

  2. Store a medium bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes.

  3. Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and place it upside down (to facilitate extraction of the milk only, which is at the top of the can).

  4. Open the can and pour the liquid into a separate bowl (keep this one to add to your smoothies).

  5. Transfer the fat (coconut cream) to the cooled bowl or regular bowl if using coconut whipping cream. Using a hand mixer, whip the coconut cream until you get a nice smooth texture.

  6. Add your favorite sweetener, to taste and your vanilla extract, and whisk again.

  7. Serve a dollop of whipped coconut cream on your favorite chia pudding, pie or banana bread and enjoy!

Your coco cream can be stored in the fridge for about 10 days. It will harden so you will need to whip it again before serving.
