Whipped Coconut Cream

Simultaneously light and rich, a spoonful of lightly sweetened whipped cream is an ideal complement to almost every dessert. A breath of vanilla essence lends incredible depth, without stealing the spotlight from any potential headliner, no matter how soft-spoken, distinctive, or bold. With an eye toward the tropics rather than the farmlands, coconut cream easily stands in for dairy without any crazy stabilizers or demanding techniques necessary.
