How to Make Vegan Whipped Cream
If you are trying to eat more plant-based foods, you can substitute coconut cream for the heavy whipping cream. To get coconut cream, put a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Open the can without shaking it. Then scoop the cream off of the top and leave the watery liquid in the can. Prepare the coconut cream just like you would the heavy cream. If it is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the can.
How Does It Work?
When milk is left to settle, the substance that rises to the top is the cream, leaving the milk at the bottom. Heavy cream is just the cream part. Half and half is equal parts cream and milk. And, of course, milk is just the milk part and no cream. Heavy cream can be “whipped” because of the high fat content. As you whip it, the air gets trapped inside the fat molecules, causing the mixture to double in size!
Recipe Tip
Storing Whipped Cream
There are a couple of ways to store your leftovers. Keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, if you cover it and put it in the freezer, it will last for up to three months. To thaw, remove the whipped cream from the freezer and allow it to thaw at room temperature until it’s at the desired consistency.
