Shopping List
-
For the Classic
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon sugar, maple syrup, or honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For Strawberry Flavor
- 4 strawberries, chopped (adjust to taste) For Cinnamon Flavor
- 1 tablespoon smooth almond butter + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Refrigerate the coconut milk, in the can or carton, overnight.
- Step 2: Open the coconut milk and scoop out the hardened coconut cream at the top. It should be about 1 cup's worth. Reserve the remaining coconut water for later (tastes great in smoothies).
- Step 3: Place the coconut cream in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the coconut cream until fluffy. Add the sweetener, vanilla and any optional mix-ins. Whip for one minute, or until thick and creamy. If it seems too thick, add in some of the reserved coconut water, a few spoonfuls at a time (we use about 3 spoonfuls).
- Serve: Enjoy the whipped coconut cream immediately in Strawberries and Cream Parfaits or Paleo Cinnamon Cupcakes or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
