How to Make Coconut Whipped Cream

1/18/2014

I thought I had found a tried and true way to make coconut whipped cream, but the last time I tried it, everything failed. 

Normally, you would need...

Ingredients:
1 can Full Fat Coconut Milk, unsweetened and chilled 
Sugar, honey, or vanilla (or any combination of those things)

Directions:
  • Take the chilled can out of the fridge and flip it upside down to open. (Since the cream floats, when you turn it upside down, you access the liquid first)
  • Pour the liquid into a container (use it in smoothies or instead of water in a soup recipe or something. It's good for you.)
  • You should be left with the solid cream in the bottom of the can. Put that in a bowl for your stand mixer or hand mixer. 
  • Whip it. It takes several minutes with my stand mixer. 
  • When it can keep hard peaks, it is ready 
  • Sweeten it to taste or don't. It's up to you. :)



Notes:
We normally use the Goya brand and switched the the Thai Kitchen because it was what the grocery store had. I think that may have been the issue last time. The cream didn't separate after being chilled. Weird. It still whipped, but would only hold soft peaks. Normally, a can of coconut milk won't whip if you don't separate it. So strange. 


I have never been able to open the can properly and not stir up the insides. So, I usually take a chemistry paper filter (which we use for our Chemex) and it does such an excellent job of separating the water and the cream that I have to put some water in with the cream so it will whip properly. I tried this last time, and the water still wouldn't separate. 


In my Candied Yams recipe, I added the sugar at the beginning, before whipping the cream. It caused everything to fail. 


I really don't mind trying it over and over again. It's tasty every time, just not always fluffy or whipped. 


I recommend chemistry filter papers and the Goya brand. So far. I'll have to try out some more brands. Let me know what your favorites are!

    There are lots of things I don't know how to do. If a recipe told me to do something and I had to do a search for instructions, I will write a "How To..." for it.
