Why do I need to chill the coconut milk and mixing bowl?

Chilling the coconut milk solidifies the cream, separating it from the water, and a cold bowl helps the cream whip up to a light, fluffy consistency more easily.

Can I adjust the spices in this whipped coconut cream?

Yes, the spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves can be adjusted to your preference, or you can omit some for a simpler vanilla flavor.

What should I do with the leftover coconut water?

The thin coconut water poured off from the can can be saved and used in smoothies, soups, or other recipes where a subtle coconut flavor is desired.

How long does spiced whipped coconut cream last in the refrigerator?

Store the whipped coconut cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days, maintaining its light and fluffy texture.

Can I use light coconut milk for this recipe?

For the best results and a truly thick, fluffy whipped cream, it is essential to use full-fat coconut milk, as light versions will not separate properly or whip well.

How to Prepare Spiced Whipped Coconut Cream [Vegan]

Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator the night before or for at least 6 hours.
1 hour before making the whipped coconut cream, place a large mixing bowl into the freezer to chill.
Open the can of chilled coconut milk upside down and pour off the thin coconut water (save for smoothies!).
Add the remaining thick coconut cream to the chilled mixing bowl, along with the sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
Turn the mixer on low and slowly increase the speed to high. Whip the coconut cream until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Store the whipped coconut cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a more traditional whipped cream omit the spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg & cloves). (*Note – the whipped coconut cream becomes firm when chilled but softens at room temperature. You can make it up to a week ahead.)
