A simple vegan whipped cream made with coconut. Great for topping on desserts and cupcakes. Makes approximately 1 - 1 ½ cups of whipped cream
Ingredients
- 1 can of full fat coconut milk, buy chilled
- or 400ml of homemade coconut milk, chilled
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- After full-fat coconut milk is chilled, the fat (the cream) will float to the top of the can. Simply scoop the cream out of the can and leave the watery milk in the can and save it for adding to curry or another recipe.
- To whip the cream, simply use an electric whisk or mixer to whip the coconut cream. Start by whisking it for a few minutes until thickened and then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, whisk again until well combined. You should be left with a thick and creamy, but light whipped cream!
- Regrigerate in a bowl, covered with cling film for up to 3 days or use immediately.
- For a professional result, spoon the whipped cream into an icing bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle and pipe a swirl shape for a classic finish.

Pauline says
Which coco nut milk do you use as the ones I have tried don’t separate and I am using full fat
Aimee says
Even after refrigerating? The best thing to do is to give the can a shake at the shop and if it sounds watery – then avoid. If it feels more solid – then it means the fat has separated. Hope that helps!

Yes it helped me a lot yesterday I made black forest cupcake
pauline crosby says
Which one do you use?
Aimee says
I don’t use any specific one. Sometimes I make my own, often I use Biona coconut milk or just whatever is in my supermarket if I’m in a rush.
Kerry says
I am just finding this recipe almost two years after you, but… maybe you want to choose a brand with Xantham gum. That might help it solidify. I just used a “coconut cream” can from Trader Joes and the whole thing solidifies! yay!
