Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (13.5) can (ounce) unsweetened coconut milk (full fat = 14gr. or more)
  • 1/3 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk powder (like coconut milk powder) OR 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds, optional
  • 1/2 cup toasted flaked coconut (sweetened), optional

Instructions

  • Chill coconut milk by putting the unopened container in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours – this will help the milk to separate.
  • Before preparing the cream, chill a metal mixing bowl and whisk attachment or beaters in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • Open coconut milk by removing the lid – do not shake! Using a spoon, skim the thick cream off the top of the coconut water and transfer to the chilled bowl. There should be approximately 1 cup of cream skimmed off, leaving approximately 1/2 cup coconut water in the can to save for other uses.
  • Beat the cream with the chilled whisk attachment or beaters until thick and fluffy – at least 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, sift confectioner’s sugar and mix with non-dairy milk powder or cream of tartar. Stir in the sugar mixture with the cream and beat again until integrated and light.
  • Cover and chill until serving.
