Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This is crucial because chilling allows the cream to separate from the liquid.
Step 2
Before starting, chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. A cold bowl will help the cream whip better.
Step 3
Open the chilled can of coconut milk carefully without shaking it.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Step 7
Whip the mixture again on medium-high speed for another 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar incrementally.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, re-whipping if necessary before serving.
