On Christmas eve, my dairy-free SIL made cupcakes and "whipped cream" for me. While the cupcakes still need some work, the whipped cream was awesome. She used organic coconut milk and vanilla bean. She chilled the milk and beat it like you would whipping cream. With the leftovers I added some stevia (she wasn't aware I could use it) and a little peppermint flavoring and it's incredible. Have to be careful because it would be easy to binge on, but this is a great way to make whipped cream, and I'm guessing ice cream, too. (I put the rest in the freezer but I haven't ventured there yet.)

Raw food suppliers sell something called coconut butter, or creamed coconut meat. This, added to the milk could make an even richer cream. As with your recipe, coconut cream is a delight and it's easy to 'down' a whole bottle. I don't buy it unless I'm having company to help me eat it!

Cheers!

I just tried this and couldn't get the coconut milk to get firm. Do you know what I might have done wrong? I used organic coconut milk, not lite, and whipped it with a little alcohol free vanilla and a pinch of chicolin/stevia.

I as well tried it this evening and nothing happened.

Hunh. I'll have to ask my SIL about that. I haven't made it myself.

Hi! Kay, have you been able to find out how to do this? Myself and my sugarfree kids would LOVE to make it!

yes as would I!
