Are you looking for the perfect recipe to make coconut whipped cream? Than you're in the right place. This whipped cream is made with full-fat coconut milk and it's therefore 100% dairy free. It has the same texture and consistency as traditional whipped cream but it's lighter and totally vegan-friendly.
Here's how to make it.
Jump to:
Step 1: find the right coconut milk
Update 2022: In some countries you can find canned coconut cream, which is exactly what we need to make this whipped cream. If you find canned coconut cream in your local supermarket than you can jump to step 2.
When it comes to coconut whipped cream it's crucial to find the right coconut milk. We have to use full fat coconut milk with a smooth and creamy consistency. Also the coconut milk should not separate once chilled.
If it does separate scoop the upper part of cream into a bowl and discard the water at the bottom.
Step 2: Chill the can/carton overnight
If you want your whipped cream to form stiff peaks you need to chill the coconut milk in the fridge overnight.
The same applies to the bowl you're going to whip the cream in, chill it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you start making your whipped cream.
Step 3: use a whipped cream stabilizer
If you want to be 100% sure to get a perfectly fluffy whipped cream add whipped cream stabilizer to your coconut milk before you start whipping it.
Step 4: whip it with a hand mixer
Whip it until stiff peaks form (5-10 minutes).
Step 5 (optional): place in the fridge
If you want your whipped cream to be extra firm place it in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving it.
Step 5: Enjoy it!
Use it as a topping for cakes, chocolate mousse, pudding, fruits etc.

Hola Carlo, se podría usar agar agar o goma xanthan?
Se ve increíble la receta! Gracias

Hola Catalina, yo que tú no utilizaría agar agar porque tendrías que cocer la leche. Con xanthan puede que funcione aunque nunca lo he intentado. Dejame saber come te ha quedado 🙂
