5 minute vanilla coconut whipped cream recipe

If you know me, you know that I love whipped cream. Some could even say I’m addicted to it. Whipped cream was one of the most difficult things for me to give up switching to a plant-based diet. That was, until I discovered rich, creamy, dairy-free coconut whipped cream. It is inexpensive, simple to make and delicious. It holds firm and is a compliment to any dessert or fresh fruit.

I’ve came up with the quickest and easiest coconut whipped cream recipe. It takes just five minutes to make and can last up to one week in a sealed container in your fridge. As a tip, make sure you plan ahead and chill the coconut cream overnight. I made the mistake once and didn’t chill it and it didn’t turn out right. Also you need to make sure the label reads cream of coconut or coconut cream, full fat, and not coconut milk. See picture below.
