How to make coconut whipped cream

Before making the whipped cream, ensure that your unopened can of coconut cream has been in the fridge overnight to solidify the cream.

Without shaking or tipping the can of coconut cream, open the can and scoop out the solid cream from the top. Discard of the liquid in the bottom of the can.

Add the solid coconut cream to the bowl of a stand mixer along with the icing sugar or your chosen sweetener. Beat on high for around 3 minutes, or until soft peaks have formed.

Keep the whipped coconut cream in the fridge until ready to use. The whipped cream will harden further the longer it is in the fridge.
