Ingredients
1can15oz. of full fat coconut milk (*see below)
1tsppure vanilla extract
1Tbsp.coconut sugar
a pinch of maldon salt
Directions
Place the can of coconut milk in the fridge and allow it to sit overnight. Take out of the fridge the following day.
Open the can and scoop out the hardened coconut mass that has gathered on the top into a bowl. Do not use the liquid. Use the remaining liquid coconut water for another recipe that calls for milk alternative (ie: a smoothie)
To make whipped coconut cream, add coconut mass, vanilla, coconut sugar and salt to a small bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed and whip until you have a smooth cream (ie 1 minute). Serve immediately
You can store left-overs (if you have any) in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. It will be firm again, so re-whip just before serving.
*Note it is important to choose full fat coconut milk or the whipping will yield a thin cream vs whipped cream
