Ingredients
Step 1
Store the can of coconut milk upside down in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2
The next morning, turn the can right-side up and open it. Drain the liquid into a separate container and discard.
Step 3
Place the coconut milk solids in a large bowl and add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture resembles whipped cream, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Use immediately in place of whipped cream as a frosting or as an accompaniment.

Back to TopYou can use this recipe to add to a coconut creme pie or banana creme pie for lactose intolerant people. I would not use it as a whipped cream on its own. The most you could use the coconut solids for is to place a cream layer in a torte or trifle or to flavor the coconut solids with an extract and spread on top of a chocolate pie, garnishing with toasted coconut or chocolate shavings. I would not throw away coconut milk though. It is expensive. Use sweetened liquefied coconut milk in thai green curry dishes.

I made an apple pie with a vegan crust to bring to a dairy-free Thanksgiving and was hoping to find a great whipped cream recipe to go with it. This just didn't work. I followed the recipe to the letter. My guess is, the coconut milk is supposed to separate. Mine didn't, even after 24 hours of chilling. Double checked and I definitely used full fat. When I whipped it, it just got a little foamy, had to toss it. If anybody is successful, I'd love to know what brand you used. Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk Unsweetened (14g total fat) didn't work.
