A great recipe from Bonnie Kaape.  Use it on top of fruit, pies, hot beverages or anywhere you would use dairy cream.   Bonnie bets you can't help but lick the beaters and bowl. 

 

• 13.5 oz. can of coconut milk (not reduced fat or lite)

• ¼ cup powdered sugar (more or less to taste)

• ½ tsp. vanilla or flavor of choice

 

Place can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for about 1 hour prior to using. Do not shake or turn the can upside down!  Open the can carefully and spoon out the top layer of congealed opaque white coconut that has gathered at the top of the can. Spoon this top layer into a mixing bowl. Save the leftover translucent liquid that remains in the can for use in a smoothie or something else of your choosing.  Add the ¼ cup of powdered sugar and flavoring of your choice to the mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer or electric mixer. When the consistency is that of whipped cream and holds peaks, it is ready to use!
