With a can of this pure coconut cream, you can whip up a batch of light and fluffy vegan whipped cream in just 2 minutes.

What is coconut whipping cream?
Coconut whipped cream is a dairy-free substitute for traditional whipped cream. With this can of coconut cream, you won’t even have to deal with half-set, half-liquid coconut milk in the fridge. The whole can is pure whipped cream, specially made for whipping. With its high fat content of 30% (just like regular whipped cream), you can whip the coconut fat into a delightful whipped cream-like texture. Coconut whipped cream is suitable for vegans and those with lactose intolerance, providing a healthy alternative to dairy.
Homemade whipped cream
To make coconut whipped cream from scratch, you only need a can of coconut whipping cream. The most crucial thing is to have the full-fat version. Our vegan whipping cream consists of 30% pure coconut fat, and it works wonders. Always chill the can in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours. It’s crucial that the cream is cold. If you live in a very warm climate, consider using a chilled bowl too. A narrow, tall bowl works best. With a hand mixer or standing mixer, beat the coconut fat until it forms a creamy whipped cream texture. The duration may vary for each batch, but it typically takes at least 2 minutes, and sometimes up to 10 minutes. Optionally, add coconut blossom sugar and briefly mix it in for a delightful sweetened coconut whipped cream.

Topping with a twist
Love experimenting? Whip the cream with the addition of a flavor twist. Fine powders like matcha, chai latte, or cocoa powder with coconut blossom sugar work wonderfully. Give it a try!
The difference between coconut milk and coconut whipping cream
The difference lies in the percentage of coconut fat. Our coconut whipping cream contains a whopping 30% fat, just like traditional whipped cream. For comparison, our coconut milk contains 11% or 22% fat, making it more liquid. Coconut milk is produced by mixing and squeezing coconut meat with water, creating a milky texture, perfect for curries, sauces, and smoothies. Heavy cream or coconut whipping cream contains more coconut and less water. With our vegan coconut heavy cream, you won’t have to worry about the fat separating from the water. The cream remains homogeneous, making it perfect for creating a sweet topping – whipped cream.
How to use vegan whipped cream
Vegan whipped cream is incredibly versatile. You can use it as a sweet topping for desserts and treats. Think of fruit salads, smoothie bowls, pancakes, waffles, cakes, and ice cream. The subtle coconut flavor adds an exotic touch to your favorite treats. Additionally, coconut whipped cream is a delightful addition to savory dishes like shakshuka, curry, and soup. You can even use coconut whipped cream as a replacement for dairy cream in sauces.
Where to buy coconut whipping cream
Finding good non-dairy whipping cream can be tricky. You can buy coconut whipping cream from health food stores or online shops. Always pay close attention to the ingredient list to ensure you’re getting a high-quality product without unnecessary additives.
