Coconut Whipped Cream (Vegan)

I first found this original recipe on the oh she glows food blog when my daughter was having trouble with stomach pains and had cut out dairy products to see if that would help. It didn't, but this whipped topping is very tasty for those of you who are avoiding dairy for one reason or another. My modified version appears below.

1 can full-fat coconut milk without guar gum listed as an ingredient, chilled overnight in the fridge
1-3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Bowl of stand mixer, also chilled overnight in the fridge

1. Chill the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight.

2. Turn the can upside down and open it from the bottom. Pour off the liquid and reserve for use in smoothies or other recipes.

3. Scoop out the thick coconut cream and place it in the chilled bowl of your stand mixer.

4. Whip the cream until light and fluffy.

5. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat again.

You can use this just like you would use freshly whipped cream on top of fruit, porridge, or your favorite desserts.

NOTE: This will store in the fridge for up to two weeks. It will thicken up as it is chilled, so you may want to re-whip it before use if you have refrigerated it.
