Whipped Coconut Cream

As a family with food allergies and sensitivities, we are always on the lookout for safe recipes.  As a breastfeeding mom, I discovered that my girls were very sensitive to dairy as infants and toddlers.  For that reason, I cut it out of my diet and created recipes so that I could still enjoy the foods that I once loved but could no longer have.  I’ve used this dairy-free whipped cream on both of their grain-free first birthday cakes and we enjoy it on many other homemade baked goods, including our favorite pancakes.  You can add it to your morning coffee, or tea for some creamy goodness, and it’s perfect on top of hot cocoa.  It’s also delicious all on its own.  We like to add berries and granola on top and eat it by the spoonful.

A Few Notes…

• This coconut cream does not taste like traditional frosting.  If you are used to the sweetness of frosting, you will likely be disappointed with this.  Our family limits sugar intake so more often than not, we only use the coconut cream.  I do add raw honey or maple syrup if I am making it for a crowd.  Adding confectioner’s sugar will give it a more traditional frosting taste.
• Not all coconut milk is created equal.  You want to be sure that you are using full fat, coconut milk.  I’ve had success with Thai Kitchen and Native Forest brands.
• Feel free to experiment with various flavors and spices.  A few of our favorites are cocoa, pumpkin pie spice, and citrus zest.
• Don’t throw out the liquid.  Reserve it to add to your smoothies.
