We love our whipped cream in coffee, on berries for dessert, really on any of our primal desserts. But it’s nice to have an alternative to dairy and for our Paleo friends.
Henry thought it would be good to have some cold coconut milk and stuck a can into the fridge for a couple of hours. When he opened it he noticed that it had gotten very thick on top, so he scooped it out and noticed that it had separated from the coconut water. So he added a little cinnamon and a little organic vanilla extract to the thick coconut and whipped it up. To our happy surprise it got thick and creamy immediately, and Oh Wow!!! sooooo good.
So since then we’ve been enjoying our morning cup of coffee with a spoon full.
So here are a couple of pictures for you – try it, it is so incredibly easy and completely gluten and dairy-free.
Step 1: Take a “full fat” can of Organic Coconut Milk and place it in the fridge for some time or best over night
Step 2: Make sure that you scoop out all the thickened coconut cream, and that the water is left over. Don’t discard the water, use it to drink or in a shake.
Step 3: After scooping it out, add a little cinnamon and vanilla, and whip it in a mixing bowl until it begins to thicken. 
Step 4: Enjoy every bite, anyway you like! 🙂

If you take a “full fat” can of coconut milk and let it sit in the fridge overnite, in the morning you will have thick stuff on top-add just a bit of cinnamon and vanilla and whip with your hand beater. I think this would be excellent on this

Don’t shake the can before you put it in the fridge. In fact, let it sit undisturbed for a while before you chill it and you should have better results. Also be sure it’s full fat. A good brand to use is Thai Kitchen. (As in the photo above.)

There are two qualities of Coconut milk available in the grocery store. Shake the can– if u hear the liquid in the can, it is the lesser quality. The good stuff is silent and full fat. The THAI KiTCHEN brand is expensive and makes noise. The no-noise type is best, but be careful not to include any trapped liquid in ur whipped cream. “Fridging” it makes the whipping process better.

Keep in mind that it must have the fat in it. Most of the Coconut milk I have bought goes into the refrigerator and has never separated. It would be like buying regular milk at the store and expecting the cream to rise to the top..aint gonna happen! I am in China but this is the first time I have heard of whipped cream made out of coconut milk (just trying to buy regular dairy cream in China is a nightmare in logistics) and I have bought numerous containers of coconut milk here. Next time I will pay closer attention to product description and see if one has a higher fat content and also look for the Thai canned coconut milk.

For those of you worried about cholesterol, cholesterol does not make cholesterol. In fact, coconut milk and coconut oil contain a component (lauric acid) which is helpful in lowering cholesterol. Cholesterol starts in the liver, so those of you with high cholesterol should do what you can to get your liver healthy so it can work properly (a liver detox, for example). My MIL had very high cholesterol. She began taking an herbal supplement (Choleslo) rather than the Lipitor her doctor wanted to put her on (her doctor told her the Choleslo wasn’t going to work) and after 8 weeks on it, her cholesterol was down to 199 with her LDL going down and her HDL going up! The nurse at her doctor’s office was amazed and asked her what she was taking. Oh, and her Hepatitis B disappeared…..how’s that for liver repair!! 🙂

You can make ‘canoli’ shells using 1/4 cup young coconut meat, and 1/4 cup coconut water – blend in a blender, then dehydrate until firm (not crunchy) – it takes about 6 – 12 hours at 105 – 120 degree setting.

Okay, maybe a stupid question: I’ve had this bookmarked for a long time but have always wondered about something. How come you can’t use the coconut water to drink or in a shake? What are you supposed to do with it then?
I was just re-reading this again today (for probably the 100th time, I like to look at things and dream about eating them, and then never do it, lol) and it finally occured to me that it might be a grammatical error? Is it supposed to say, “don’t throw it away; use it….” ?? Or is it supposed to be a list of things you aren’t supposed to do with the coconut water, like it’s written? That’s how i have been reading it this whole time and it never made sense to me, but I have never used any coconut products so I just figured the water would make you sick or something. ??? Could you clarify?
I’m sorry if that’s SUPER stupid. (blush)

I tried it this morning. I refrigerated the coconut milk overnight. I tried to get all the thick part out, leaving only the water. Unfortunately, a good bit of it was still milky. It was hard to get all the solids out without some of the liquids. I still mixed it with the cinnamon and vanilla. It still tasted good, but it didn’t get as thick as I would like, to get that “whipped” texture. It was more of a thick cream, or melted whipped cream more than anything for me. I am storing the rest of the “milk” to see if any more hardens, or becomes more solid. It just didn’t separate very well for me. It was still delicious.

Jennifer – Sorry to hear that your coconut cream did not whip up the way it should. We’ve run into similar issues depending on the type of product we use. The best results are had with Coconut Milk that has NO additives and is 100% coconut. Unfortunately, the ingredients that are added to some Coconut Milk will cause the milk to stay homogenized or partially so. The brand we use most and recommend is Aroy-D 100% Coconut, you can find it online if you don’t find it locally.

I was fairly excited about this and thought it might be an alternative for my family until I did some research. Although coconut milk is considered by some (those who want people to believe in the health benefits of it) to be made up of mostly medium chain fatty acids (I believe I even saw that mentioned in this post), in reality, it contains a lot of saturated fat. Although it’s a good alternative for those needing to avoid dairy or soy, it’s not a good alternative for those needing to watch their cholesterol and fat intake. Coconut milk has some added benefits (more vitamin D and calcium than cows milk depending on the brand), but if using the full fat version, you need to use it sparingly, just as with any other high fat food. Moderation is always the key.

I scooped the cream off the top and added a tiny bit of vanilla, cinnamon and half a teaspoon of coconut sugar for just a little sweetness. I don’t know if the sugar is what caused the problem since it is rather course but no matter how much mixing I did it never became creamy. It was like curtled milk and after a while any last bit of moisture started separating from the cream. I’m afraid to try again since I wasted a can.

Times like this I regret my lack of interest for trying out anything in the kitchen and my cursed love of food and recipes all the same. So, I am wondering if, someone, I don’t know who, would add some whipped whole eggs (maybe separated firsta nd whipped separately in parts), whipped with enough heavy cream and whole grain cane sugar to make it all nicely whipped up together (and then set that aside) and took some baking or refined cake flour and more baking sugar and a little baking powder and some more baking extract (like almond or more vanilla or even fruit like lemon or lime or orange or even more coconut or a combination of those) and a tiny, little bit of light brown sugar and a little more cinnamon (possily, maybe some sweet currants and sweet clove and nutmeg, not much or really, not any at all, just a side thought — but fruit currants) and also some whole eggs, just a few and a little bit of whipped butter, however much that is, but also whipped and beat all that together and then added the whipping eggs one part at a time to the flour fruit extract mixture and baked it, if that would not also make a nice center layering so that someone else could look for a good frosting for it, like maybe, butter pecan — or is that too much? Then jamoca frosting. But this looked like an excellent topping alternative so I did want a chance to reblog it, despite my delusions of cake filling.
