Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz. can coconut cream*
  • 2-4 Tbsp. powdered sugar or stevia packets
  • 1 tsp. clear vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Chill the can of coconut cream in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Chill the mixing bowl and whisking attachment in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • When you are ready to make your coconut whipped cream, place coconut cream in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld mixer. Attach the whisk attachment (or beaters) and whisk on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Coconut cream will begin to thicken. Add powdered sugar to taste and vanilla extract.
  • Continue whisking on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until coconut cream is to your desired consistency.
  • If the whipping cream is not as thick as you would like, refrigerate it for a few hours to help thicken it up.
  • Serve coconut whipped cream with your favorite pumpkin pie or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • If you would like to use canned coconut milk: do not shake the contents of the can and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to make coconut whipped cream, scoop the thick layer of cream from the top of the can and proceed with the remaining instructions. (Note: you will probably need about half of the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.)
  • If you are pressed for time, shake up the can of coconut cream and put the cream, bowl, and attachment in the freezer for 1-2 hours before making.
  • To make this recipe low-carb and keto, use 2-4 packets of stevia powder in place of the powdered sugar.
