Place the coconut milk can upside-down in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, but best if left in the fridge overnight to allow the liquid to separate from the fat. Refrigerate a large bowl together with the whisks of your electric hand mixer for at least 10 minutes to cool.
Gently turn the can back right-side-up, and open the can. Pour out the liquid layer on the top, and save this for a future smoothie or curry. Using a spoon, scoop out the solid white coconut fat into a large bowl.
Whip the coconut cream for 3 - 4 minutes.
Then add in the icing sugar and vanilla, and whip again for an additional minute.
Use the coconut whip to top brownies, fruit crumbles, watermelon pizza, or as a topping on your favourite hot chocolate*.
Notes
†Coconut cream is the thick part from the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk (of at least 18% fat) refrigerated overnight. The amount of coconut fat separation can vary vastly from brand to brand. If there isn’t much coconut fat in your can, consider trying again with a different brand. 2 cans of milk are generally needed to yield 1 cup of cream.
* Note, when added to hot desserts or drinks, the coconut whip will quickly deflate - but the taste is still delicious!
Storage
Best if enjoyed immediately. The whip can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or glass jar for up to 2 days.

Hi PUL team! Thank you for the great recipe! really enjoying it. Do you have any ideas to use up the rest of the coconut cream (thinner part) of this recipe? I feel a bit guilty throwing away something looks still edible. Btw your recipes are always so helpful to me. So much love from Japan💞

Hey Yoshi, a lovely question. Curries, creamy drinks, and soups are some ideas. Here's a direct link to some Pick Up Limes recipes: https://www.pickuplimes.com/s…

really simple to make and really tasty too, but it melts super quickly when put on hot drinks. i suppose this has to do with it just being cold coconut milk, but it’s still a good recipe.

So glad you're enjoying it, Jonna, indeed the hot temperature can cause this one to melt a bit :)
