This whipped cream will add a special touch to any dessert or drink. The best part is that it is ready in 10 minutes when you have a refrigerated can of coconut milk. But let me tell you how this vegan whipped cream is made.
How do you make vegan whipped cream?
Ingredients you need
- Can of coconut milk. It is important that the coconut milk you use is full-fat and not low-fat. In the end, we are looking for a rich cream (which contains the most fat) to whip and fluff it. The brands I like the most are Whole Foods and Native Forest. My recommendation would be that you buy from different brands and try until you get to the brand that you like the most.
- Vanilla. You can use vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, or vanilla powder. I have made it with all of them and all work.
- Maple syrup. If you don’t have maple syrup you can use agave syrup.
Steps to make the coconut whipped cream
- You must chill the coconut milk for three to overnight, but it is best to leave it for at least three hours. The liquid and the cream (fat) will separate by chilling it.
- With a spoon, open the can and carefully remove the thick and white part: the cream. Put the cream in a large bowl. Please do not throw the liquid away; you can save it and use it later.
- Add the vanilla and maple syrup to the cream.
- Whisk vigorously until fluffy and peaks form.
💡TIPS & TRICKS ➡︎ Use this homemade whipped cream to finish the apple galette, chocolate pie, hot chocolate or a chocolate mousse. ➡︎ The water that remains in the can do not throw it away, you can use it to make smoothies, soups or even sauces. ➡︎ This coconut whipped cream can be stored in the refrigerator if you have any leftovers. When you are going to use it again, beat it a little to make it fluff up again. ➡︎ I make it by hand with a kitchen whisk, but if you want you can make it with a stand or hand mixer.
