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
Directions
Step 1
Chill a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This will separate the coconut cream from the liquid.
Step 2
Before starting, place a mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the vanilla-flavored plant-based protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar to the bowl.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup, a half teaspoon at a time.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve as a topping for desserts, fresh fruit, or enjoy it by itself.
