Dairy Free Sugar Free Whipped Cream made with canned coconut milk is a fantastic alternative!
Coconut Whipped Cream
The key to making this dairy free whipped cream is opening the can of coconut milk and letting it sit in the can uncovered overnight in the refrigerator. This will produce a thick cream on top. Use only the thick cream, spoon it out for this recipe, but leave the coconut water on the bottom of the can for use in a smoothie or another recipe. You can keep it refrigerated and uncovered as it will continue to thicken in the fridge. Enjoy!
Please Notes:
- This recipe will not work with anything other than full fat coconut milk, I've tried it.
- If you purchase a can of coconut milk and it does not contain guar gum, don't use it, this recipe will not work. Find a can that contains guar gum.
- This will not work unless the coconut milk has been left overnight in the fridge to produce the cream on top.
- You can also use any flavor stevia you like here.

Will it work with powdered Stevia?
How about using a few drops of 100% pure essential oil - citrus/peppermint etc flavoured ones instead of Stevia?
In the past I have used a couple of drops of peppermint and just normal whipping cream. It whips up fine and tastes divine without all the sugar.
I have not tried this coconut version yet but have set a tin of coconut milk in the fridge to try tomorrow.
I tried this today, and the cream ended up getting curdled and separated. Any idea what happened?
I've never had that happen, maybe some of the liquid on the bottom got into your mixer?
Maybe? I'll try it again with another brand too. Such a bummer!
