How to Make Coconut Whipped Cream (Easy & Fluffy!)

This coconut whipped cream is made by chilling full-fat coconut milk until the cream separates, then whipping it with sweetener and vanilla extract. It produces a light, airy topping with a coconut flavor and creamy texture, suitable as a dairy-free alternative to traditional whipped cream. The recipe requires no special ingredients beyond canned coconut milk and simple flavorings.

Description

How to Make Coconut Whipped Cream involves refrigerating a can of full-fat coconut milk for 1 to 2 days to allow the cream to solidify. After chilling, the thick coconut cream is scooped out, separating it from the coconut water which can be saved for smoothies. Whipping the cream with a hand mixer along with honey or another sweetener and vanilla extract creates a fluffy, smooth topping.

The whipped cream has a lightly sweetened coconut flavor and a texture that resembles traditional whipped cream, making it an excellent topping for desserts, fruit, or beverages. It is best used right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in a sealed container.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 13.5 oz coconut milk chilled for 1-2 days, full-fat
  • 1 tbsp honey add more as desired, or maple syrup or powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place your can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
  2. Chill your mixing bowl for 15 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Open your can of coconut milk and scoop out the hardened coconut cream. Pour the coconut water into a separate storage container and use that in a future smoothie recipe.
  4. Using a hand mixer, fluff up the coconut cream for one minute. Add your sweetener and vanilla and mix for an additional minute, until smooth and creamy. If it's too firm or too soft, see my notes above.
  5. Use the coconut whipped cream right away or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to one week.
