Coconut whipped cream is an excellent accompaniment to desserts in general. Use coconut cream as a topping in fruit bowls, parfaits, granolas, etc. The sky's the limit!
½teaspoonvanilla extract or 1 vanilla pod, seeds removed
Instructions
Refrigerate a can of coconut milk the day before (or for at least 8 hours). The next day, 1 hour before making the whipped cream, put a pothole or medium bowl in the freezer.
Turn the box of coconut milk upside down and open it with a can opener. Transfer the coconut water to another bowl and set aside for another occasion (for example, a smoothie or other).
With a spoon, take the solidified coconut cream and transfer it to the bowl previously placed in the freezer.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until light and fluffy. Add maple syrup and vanilla and mix gently.
Cover the bowl and put the whipped cream in the fridge until future use. It will firm up when refrigerated but will soften at room temperature.
Placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this coconut whipped cream will keep for up to 1 or 2 weeks.
