Top Tips
Here is how you can make these dairy-free whipped cream perfectly every time!
- You can either use this coconut whip immediately or store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. If it is chilled for a long time it will become harder, when you bring it out from the fridge give it a quick whisk and it will loosen up.
- Sweeten the coconut whipped cream to taste. Start with ¼ cup of icing sugar only adding more if you need more sweetness.
- Serve your dairy-free whipped cream anywhere you would serve traditional whipped toppings; on pavlovas, with fresh fruit, or on hot chocolate.
FAQs
Traditional whipped cream is made from the cream component of cow's milk. It is therefore not dairy-free and is not safe for those with a dairy allergy. Dairy-free whipped cream can be made from coconut milk or cream.
