#CREAM OF COCONUT FULL#

I use 2 full packages of gelatin to a single can of milk or cream. Once it’s set up and you have finished using it put it in the fridge or freezer and the gelatin will help it to hold its shape and keep everything together. I also have made Chocolate, and Strawberries, mint chocolate chip, several other flavors your imagination is the limit once you get the hang of stabilizing the original recipe. I also like to add vanilla and any additional sugar, sweetener, or flavoring like cinnamon, a dash of salt to sharpen the flavor.

Then while mixing the cold almost frozen coconut milk, at the soft peaks stage start adding the clear and lump free gelatin into your milk and beating it to the consistency that you want to keep it in. It will help to dissolve any remaining lumps in the gelatin. I make up 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin, using the smallest amount of hot water just enough to melt the gelatin and then set it in a larger bowl with hotter water in it. I have made this before, if you want to make a version that is more closer to what you are able to buy at the store, I use this one to make my homemade Peanut Butter Pies from.

Frost your cake/cupcakes the next day and keep them in the fridge until ready to serve. For best results, we suggest making it and then refrigerating overnight. If you are wanting to use it to decorate a cake or cupcakes, please note that it is delicious, but doesn’t do well at room temperature (2 hours is probably the maximum it would be able to keep). It’s also ideal for french toast, pie fillings, mousse, and even no-churn ice cream! It’s perfect for topping desserts such as pie, hot cocoa, strawberry shortcake, and ice cream.

Use immediately, OR (our preferred) make ahead and chill for 4 hours + where it will firm up even more!.

See clumps? Keep whipping and scraping down sides, and add some of the reserved liquid from the can to soften the mixture and create more air!.

If your coconut whipped cream is too stiff when whipping, add some of the reserved liquid from the can to help it blend smoother and create more air!.

Before whipping, chill a large mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes!.

Chilling overnight is key or the coconut cream won’t harden and will likely be too soft to whip.Chill overnight, not in the freezer for best results.
