Coconut Milk Whipped Cream Recipe {dairy-free}

Written by Becky

As summer rolls in so do all the fresh berries and nothing goes with berries better than whipped cream.  This recipe is a dairy free whipped cream made with all natural coconut milk. Yes, that’s right you can make whipped cream from coconut milk!  It’s great on top of pie and angel food cake or just simply dolloped over ripe berries. For those who are lactose intolerant and others who are staying away from heavy cream or just love the flavor of coconut, this is a big win!

A simple dairy free whipped cream recipe using coconut milk instead of whipping cream.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Course Condiment
Cuisine American, Dairy Free
Servings 6 -8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can coconut milk or coconut cream full fat (not the lite kind), chilled over night at least 8 hours
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener of your choice, confectioner's sugar, honey, maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Refrigerate coconut milk overnight.
  • Remove the coconut milk from the refrigerator and turn upside down. Use a can opener and open the bottom side of the can. The coconut milk and coconut water should have separated in the can.

  • Serve with berries over cake or pie!

Notes

Find full fat coconut milk or coconut cream near the thai food in most grocery stores.

  1. Have you tried with fresh coconut milk? Can coconut milk in my country expensive than fresh one too much 🙁 (sorry for my bad English, i don’t good at English)

  2. How long would the whipped coconut cream last for? We are going camping, and I make my son pancakes, would this last in the camp fridge?
