My Favorite Whipped Creme
Take a can of coconut milk (not light kind) and get cold in fridge or freezer (don’t let freeze though) Then open the can and with a spoon, spoon out only the thick stuff. Put into a small food processor or blender add about 3-4 Tablespoons raw or organic sugar more if you like it sweeter and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy use like whipped creme.

Melissa, Oh no I don't throw it away! I usually put it back in the fridge and use it as part of the liquid for a smoothie the next morning! Makes a great rich creamy tasting smoothie!
ReplyDeleteHey Denise,
ReplyDeleteThe first few times I made the whipped cream it did whip up just like whipping cream and was nice and thick. But it seems like sometimes I get a can of coconut milk that either has less fat in it so not as much thick stuff or with the warmer weather it isn't cold enough or something. I did talk to a pie maker who seems to make it great every time. She said that you need to whip the coconut creme (just the thick white stuff) before adding anything else. Then just fold in the other stuff. If you use Sucanat it will be kind of tan if I want it to look pretty and be white I usually get some organic sugar. I think temperature plays a big part. I have been keeping a couple of cans of coconut milk in my fridge all the time now. So that way I know it will be cold enough if I need it. I hope that helps it can be kind of hit and miss. But either way we have been know to eat it runny and still enjoy!
Good Luck
Where is the best place to buy coconut milk and a good price and good quality?
ReplyDeleteDione: I usually get mine from Azure Standard or Wal-Mart. The Thia brand is good it's in the ethnic foods section. Just be sure to have it in the fridge for a few days so it's good and cold because I have found that brand to be a little runny form whipped creme at times. It makes wonderful ice cream though.
ReplyDeletedo you only use organic berries/strawberries? if so, where do you get them for a good price?
ReplyDeleteRachel: I do not always use organic only. But when I find them for a good price I do. I have found if I watch my local health food store "Good Earth" when berries are in season they will a lot of times have organic ones on sale for a really good price. Also Azure Standard co-op sometimes has organic fresh and/or frozen berries that go on sale.
ReplyDeleteI think the best thing is to grow your own. I can't wait until my plants are mature. We have strawberries that are finally starting to multiply and produce some. And we will have quite a few black berries on our bush this year. I'm so excited. I also plan to plant raspberries and blueberries we just haven't done it yet.
