Instructions
Chill both cans of coconut milk overnight. Be sure not to shake the can of coconut milk.See a list of approved brands above- not all cans of coconut milk are the same.
Next day, chill a large mixing bowl for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the coconut milk from the fridge without tipping or shaking it and remove the lid. Scrape out the top layer of thickened cream. Reserve the liquid- we might use a little bit.
If your coconut milk didn’t harden, unfortunately, you got a dud. You can try to salvage it with tapioca flour during the whipping process. Add about 1 tablespoon at a time. Unfortunately, sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. See above for more troubleshooting tips and tricks!
Add the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the chilled mixing bowl.
Add the whisk attachment to your mixer and whip on medium until creamy and smooth- about 1 minute. If needed, add a very small amount of the reserved liquid from the coconut milk can. This will help create a light and creamy whip (just don't add too much!) Avoid over-whipping or your coconut whip will begin to separate.
Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Pick a quality can of coconut milk. Unfortunately, sometimes cans of coconut milk just don't whip no matter what you try! See a list of my tips & tricks for fool-proof whipped cream and a list of approved brands above.
