Ingredients
- One 15-ounce can full-fat COCONUT MILK, placed in the fridge for some time or best over night
- 1 t. VANILLA
- 1 T. SUGAR EQUIVALENT (optional)
- CINNAMON (optional)
Directions
-
Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator and leave it there until well-chilled; I left mine in overnight.
-
Open the can of coconut milk. There will be a firm, waxy layer on top.
-
Scoop out this firm layer coconut cream that has solidified at the top of the can.
-
Stop as soon as you reach the water at the bottom of the can; don’t include anything but the solid cream. (You can use the water in smoothies, or just drink it straight.)
-
Place this cream in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl.
-
Turn your mixer or hand beaters to high speed, and whip the coconut cream for 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Whip until it becomes fluffy and light, with soft peaks. Mix in sugar, vanilla and cinnamon, if using.
