Going vegan doesn’t mean going without whipped cream. You can buy vegan whipped cream or you can make your own. Being a fan of coconut milk, I prefer making my own non-dairy whipped cream. Here is a simple vegan coconut milk whipped cream recipe.

Vegan Coconut Milk Whipped Cream

Makes 1 cup

Ingredients:

• 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk, chilled
• 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar (more or less to taste)

Directions:

1. Open cans of coconut milk and scrape the coconut cream layer into a chilled bowl (do not pour in liquid, reserve for another use).
2. Using an electric hand mixer, beat coconut cream to lighten it up.
3. Add sugar and continue to beat until sugar is incorporated. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Use a whisk to beat cream until semi-smooth. Serve immediately.
