Coconut Whipped Cream

When we discovered that a healthier/non-diary whipped cream option existed we were all over it like a fly on you know what!! Kinda gross analogy since we’re talking about food here but you get the jest of it, we were pretty excited! Once we whipped up our first batch we knew we were forever hooked. Who knew that coconut cream could turn into the most decadent flavorful whipped cream? Even better, the consistency changes once it’s refrigerated for a few hours and it becomes somewhat dense, turning it more into a frosting. So what are you in the mood for…whipped cream or frosting? Take your pick! We are talking about the full fat coconut cream, we like the Trader Joe’s brand (pictured) but there are other brands out there that work just as well. Here are a few tricks to making successful coconut whipped cream:

1. Do not under any circumstances shake the jar! We like to grab the can from the back of the shelf at the store because it probably hasn’t been picked up and jostled around as much…at least that’s our theory and we’re sticking with it!

2. Store the jar of coconut cream in the refrigerator – this way you are all set to go when the moment arises and you need whipped cream STAT!

3. Enjoy every bite and slather it on anything and everything.

Serves: Approx 1 Cup

Ingredients

• 1 - 14 oz can coconut cream (we like Trader Joe's brand)
• ¼ C powdered sugar (may adjust depending on sweetness preference)
• ½ tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Chill can of coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight. At least 15 minutes before making the cream, chill beaters and bowl in the freezer (not mandatory but helps keep the cream chilled when making). Remove the coconut cream from the fridge, making sure to keep the can upright -do not shake. Removed hardened cream from the can, leaving any liquid behind and place in mixing bowl. Beat until creamy, approx 30 seconds. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and continue to beat for about a minute. Serve immediately or refrigerate. If refrigerating, the coconut cream will harden slightly. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 10 days.
