Dairy Free Whipped "Cream"

The cream I use for my coffee is a full fat coconut milk, BUT it has added emulsifiers to keep it from separating. the cheaper stuff that our local Walmart carries and some other brands don't have those emulsifiers in them. that's a simple label read. what you want your coconut milk to say is "Coconut, water"

So you take your coconut milk and you set it in the fridge over night, the fat from the coconut will rise to the top, and get hard just like beef fat on a beef soup. when you open the can you can scoop the fat off of the top of the can and drain off the coconut water that is left behind. Don't dump that out though, i pour mine over my oatmeal instead of the customary cream it adds a lot to it. you can also use it for LOADS of other things. smoothies and such. 

well so get your fat and keep it cold just like you would regular whipping cream. and start beating it with your mixer.  i used multiple cans for my thanksgiving  dinner since i am having 12 my recipe is for 1 can.

Dairy Free Whipped Cream

1 can of cold coconut milk separated

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 tablespoons of powdered sugar (or to taste) 

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

if it starts to get a bit soft, simply put it back in the fridge and let it get firm again. ONE of the pluses to this over cow's cream is cow's cream tends to separate even if its in the fridge, this wont. i swear it wont. i didn't believe it either, but the last i made held for 4 days and even then i didn't throw it out (it went in my coffee) yea watch me pack on the pounds now LOL!
