Description

Silky, airy, and delightfully creamy, this homemade Whipped Cream Topping turns chilled full-fat coconut milk into a beautifully fluffy dessert topping. A little powdered sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness, while optional vanilla brings a soft, warm flavor that complements everything from pies and cakes to fresh fruit. 

Whip up a batch whenever your desserts need that extra-special finishing touch, or keep it chilled in the refrigerator for an easy dollop of creamy goodness throughout the week. Simple, versatile, and wonderfully indulgent, it makes even the simplest dessert feel worthy of celebration. 

Ingredients
  • 28 ounces full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Optional)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Chill the coconut milk in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight if time permits. Chill the whisk attachment and mixing bowl in the fridge as well.

     

  2. 2

    When you're ready, attach the chilled whisk attachment and bowl to your stand mixer.

     

  3. 3

    Open the chilled cans of coconut milk, being careful not to tip, stir, or shake the contents inside.

     

  4. 4

    Carefully, scoop the thick 'cream' from the top of the can placing it in the chilled mixing bowl. (Store the remaining coconut milk in the fridge for use in smoothies or other recipes.)

     

  5. 5

    Add the powdered sugar and the vanilla if using.

     

  6. 6

    Whip with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thick, smooth, and creamy.

     

  7. 7

    Chilled and whipped until thick and creamy, this topping works beautifully on pies, cakes, fruit, ice cream, and even in pumpkin spiced lattes.
