A plant-based substitution for whipped cream. This is just as delightful when used to garnish a more complex dessert as it is paired simply with a big bowl of berries for dipping. (For this, I like to stir in a little sour cream and have a bowl of brown sugar handy—no longer dairy-free, but a decadent seasonal treat I look forward to.)

Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight, unshaken (do not use ‘lite’ as it will not whip correctly)
  • 1–2

Method

Open can and carefully scoop out rich coconut cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or large bowl if whipping by hand with a balloon whisk. Reserve clear coconut water on bottom for another use (smoothies, curries, cooking rice, etc.). Whip on high until fluffy (about 2 minutes), or whip vigorously by hand until voluminous. Add maple syrup to taste (if using). Sto
