Ingredients
  

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight

2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

To enhance the whipping process, start by placing a mixing bowl and the beaters of your electric mixer in the freezer. Chill them for about 10 minutes. This will help the coconut cream whip to a fluffy consistency.

    Once chilled, carefully open the can of coconut milk. Scoop out only the solidified cream that has risen to the top, leaving the coconut water at the bottom of the can. Feel free to reserve the coconut water for use in smoothies or other recipes!

      In your chilled mixing bowl, combine the scooped coconut cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt for flavor balance.

        Using the electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed for about 2 to 4 minutes. Continue whipping until soft peaks start to form, resulting in a light, fluffy texture.

          After whipping, taste your coconut whipped cream. If you desire a sweeter cream, gradually add more powdered sugar to taste, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

            Serve your delicious whipped cream immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If it thickens in the fridge, simply give it a quick re-whip before serving.
