Ingredients

  • Coconut Cream: I use the Let’s Do Organic Coconut Cream. This is the brand and can of organic coconut cream that I have had success with every time! So, I highly recommend getting this brand.
  • Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar for a sweetener, but honestly you don’t really need it if you want to cut back on sugar. You could also use maple syrup or honey too.
  • Vanilla Extract: I use Simply Organic Vanilla Extract.

Tools Needed

  • Mixer: You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whichever you prefer. I like the stand mixer best as it’s hands free and I think it’s faster.

Baker’s Tips

Easy Substitutions

FAQ’s

Is coconut whipped cream healthy?

While this is still whipped cream, it can be healthier than my traditional Organic Whipped Cream made with dairy as this is dairy free. Dairy can be inflammatory for some, so if you are trying to reduce inflammation, then yes this coconut whipped cream recipe can be a healthier option!

Is coconut whipped cream safe for dogs?

Yes, and no. If you are making my Dog Friendly Whipped Cream recipe, then it is safe for dogs as it has no sugar or flavors. This one is made with just coconut cream and raw honey. But, this recipe has sugar and vanilla extract so do not give it to your dogs.

How should I store this?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
