There are three tricks you need to know to make the best vegan coconut whipped cream
After learning those first few pointers, the rest comes naturally.
Take the can of coconut milk out of your fridge. Open it with a can opener by flipping it over. Pour out the liquid coconut milk.
Save the coconut milk for smoothies, satay sauce, or even your morning coffee or cereal.
Place the coconut cream in a medium-sized bowl after scooping it out of the can. Pour 1 teaspoon of real vanilla into the bowl.
Nielsen-Massey makes my favorite vanilla. It has the most exquisite flavor and texture and is a thick paste made of tiny vanilla bean seeds.
Add 2-4 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the bowl. Start by adding two tablespoons and taste test until you find the appropriate amount of sweetness if you are unsure of how sweet you prefer it to be.
Just one drop of maple syrup should be used. The coconut whipped cream won’t thicken as much the more liquid you add to it.
The last step is to whisk your coconut whipped cream. I take about a minute and use a whisk. You can use an electric beater if youd prefer.
Regular dairy whipped cream will always be more firm than coconut whipped cream. It will become creamy and dreamy, thickening to the point of soft peaks.
Use your vegan whipped cream right away because if you leave it out too long, it will start to melt. If you must keep it, cover it and put it back in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 days.
Note: some brands of coconut milk thicken better than others. I usually use Aroy-D and get good results. If this brand isn’t offered where you shop, you might want to try out a few different brands to determine which one works best for you. Always choose the can with the highest amount of fat and no additives.
