Coconut Whipped Cream Food

COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain coconut cream (or coconut milk) solids from the liquid. Place the solids in a large mixing bowl. Reserve the liquid for another use.
• Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla to the solid coconut cream. Beat with an electric mixer on low until combined. Continue to beat on high until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; beat for another 30 seconds.

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM (EASY & FLUFFY!)

Steps:

• Place your can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
• Chill your mixing bowl for 15 minutes in the fridge.
• Open your can of coconut milk and scoop out the hardened coconut cream. Pour the coconut water into a separate storage container and use that in a future smoothie recipe.
• Using a hand mixer, fluff up the coconut cream for one minute. Add your sweetener and vanilla and mix for an additional minute, until smooth and creamy. If it's too firm or too soft, see my notes above.
• Use the coconut whipped cream right away or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to one week.

WHIPPED COCONUT CREAM

Steps:

• Place a large bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes. Open the chilled coconut-milk cans, and skim cream from tops. Make sure not to get the thin liquid from bottom of can, or cream will not become stiff when whipped. Place cream and sugar in bowl; whisk until thick and stiff. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Chill your coconut cream or coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight (see notes for top brands!), being sure not to shake or tip the can to encourage separation of the cream and liquid. See notes for more insight / troubleshooting.
• The next day, chill a large mixing bowl 10 minutes before whipping.
• Remove the coconut cream or milk from the fridge without tipping or shaking and remove the lid. Scrape out the top, thickened cream and leave the liquid behind (reserve for use in smoothies).
• Note: if your coconut milk didn't harden, you probably just got a dud can without the right fat content. In that case, you can try to salvage it with a bit of tapioca flour - 1 to 4 Tbsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)- during the whipping process. That has worked for me several times.
• Place hardened cream in your chilled mixing bowl. Beat for 30 seconds with a mixer until creamy. Then add vanilla (optional) and powdered sugar (or stevia) and mix until creamy and smooth - about 1 minute. Avoid overwhipping because it can cause separation. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
• Use immediately or refrigerate - it will harden and set in the fridge the longer it's chilled. Will keep for up to 1 - 2 weeks!
• Coconut whipped cream is perfect for topping desserts like pie, hot cocoa and ice cream. It's also ideal for french toast, pie fillings, mousse, and even no-churn ice cream!

NEAPOLITAN CHEESECAKE AND COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• To make the crust: Place all the ingredients in a food processor except for the coconut oil. Process until a fine crumb is formed. Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the crust holds together when you squeeze it. Place the crust in a 9-inch spring form pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom of the pan in a single, even layer. Put the crust in the freezer until ready to top it with the filling.
• To make the cheesecake filling: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add in the cashews. Let the cashews soak for 2 hours. Drain the cashews.
• Place the soaked cashews, 1 cup dates, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla and sea salt in a food processor. Process until the dates and cashews have broken down into small pieces. With the food processor running, slowly stream in 2 1/4 cups coconut milk. Continue to process for 5 minutes or until the filling is smooth.
• Remove 1/2 cup of filling and set aside, this will be the vanilla layer.
• Remove another 2 1/2 cups of filling to a large bowl. Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, cacao nibs and 3 tablespoons chopped dates. Set aside.
• To the remaining filling in the food processor add half the cherries. Process for 1 minute or until the cherries have completely broken down. Add in the remaining cherries and pulse a few times until there are small pieces of cherry visible in the filling.
• Check the consistency of each of the fillings and make sure they are pourable. If they do not easily pour, stir in some additional coconut milk to get the right consistency.
• Pour the cherry filling into the spring form pan. Then, gently pour the chocolate filling into the center of the cherry filling. Take your time pouring the filling so that it stays in the middle. Tap the spring form pan on the table as needed to settle the filling. Next, slowly pour in the vanilla filling into the center of the chocolate filling. Again, tap the pan on the table to settle the filling. Use a toothpick to drag the top of the cheesecake to make a design on top.
• Place the cheesecake in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set but ideally overnight.
• To make the coconut whipped cream: Carefully open the cold coconut cream. Gently scoop out the thick coconut cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment and add in the vanilla beans. Whip the coconut cream on high until it doubles in volume. If necessary, add in up to 1 tablespoon of the coconut liquid from the can to get a smooth texture.
• To serve: When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before removing the sides from the spring form pan. Cut the cake into slices and serve with 1 tablespoon coconut whipped cream. Sprinkle flakey sea salt on top and serve immediately.

COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Put the can of coconut milk/cream in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
• I have found it works much better when you leave it for a few days. Also chill your bowl and whisk if you use these. They will definitely help with the whipping.
• Open the can and remove the coagulated cream from the top of the can. Save the rest for something else.
• Whip the coconut cream until thick and fluffy.
• Gently beat in the rest of the ingredients.
• Keep in the fridge.
• Use ASAP.
• For a stiffer topping whip in some soft vegetarian gelatin or powdered agar agar in equal amounts.
• Bon Appetit!

DARK CHOCOLATE COCONUT CREAM TART

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom. Pulse the toasted almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and pulse until a dough forms. Pat the mixture into and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake until the crust is set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache into the prepared crust. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• For the filling: Bring the coconut milk and whole milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until pale and thickened. Gradually add a quarter of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining milk and return the mixture to the saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and toasted coconut. Pour into the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until cooled, about 30 minutes.
• For the almond whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the almond extract, if desired, and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon the whipped cream over the tart and garnish as desired.
