Okay, let me show you how to make Coconut Milk Whipped Cream!
Ingredients You'll Need for Homemade Coconut Milk Whipped Cream
Whipped cream really couldn't be easier to make.
Plus, you only technically need one ingredient. However, to make it extra delicious, you'll want to grab three simple ingredients which I'll list out below:
- Full-fat coconut milk (Thai Kitchen works great for this!)
- Maple syrup (or other sweetener of choice)
- Vanilla extract
Easy peasy, right?!
How to Make Whipped Cream
Okay, now that you have all the ingredient you need to make coconut milk whipped cream, let me walk you through how to make it with these step-by-step instructions.
- Step 1: The day before you need your whipped cream, place the cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator. This will allow the coconut water and cream to separate and for the cream to harden.
- Step 2: Without shaking them too much, remove the coconut milk cans from the fridge and open them with a can opener. Use a spoon to scoop the hardened coconut cream from the top of the can into a large bowl or your stand mixer.
- Step 3: With a hand mixer or your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the hard cream until it begins to soften and stiff peaks form. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
- Step 4: Add in the vanilla and 3 tablespoons of sweetener and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Step 5: Taste for sweetness and add more sweetener if desired.
- Step 6: Dollop and enjoy!
