Whipped "Coconut" Cream

 

We make a "healthy" treat for Family Home Evening every Monday night and this is one of our go to favorites now because it is SO DELICIOUS and SO EASY!!  Perfect Combination! Our favorite is to put it over some fresh fruit like bananas and berries.

Whipped "Coconut" Cream

1 can coconut cream, refrigerated

1 t pure vanilla extract

2 T pure maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)

For best results, you will need to buy a good brand of coconut cream with a high fat content. We love Savoy (we buy it at the Asian markets) and also Thai Kitchen is a great brand. Shake the coconut cream and place it in the fridge at least over night. It is crucial that the cream is very cold and thick or it will not whip. (I always have at least one can in the fridge so I can make it on a moments notice.) Open the can and place contents in either a Vitamix or KitchenAid. (You can also place the KitchenAid bowl and wire whip in the freezer beforehand to help whip the cream fuller.) Add vanilla and maple syrup and whip until desired consistency! Any extra keeps well in the fridge for several days!
