Coconut Milk Whipped Cream (Dairy Free)

Ingredients:


- 1 Can of Full Fat Coconut Milk (Organic and/or BPA free can recommended)

- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract (This is optional. You can add any flavor you would like. 1-2 tsp of pure fruit preserves is a great way to make flavored whipped cream).

*(You can use 2-3 tbsp Confectioners Sugar if you are not doing paleo)



Directions:

1. Place coconut in the fridge overnight still sealed.

2. Open the can without shaking it or turning upside down.


3. Carefully spoon out the top layer of opaque white stuff that has gathered at the top of the can into a mixing bowl. Leave the 1/2 cup of translucent liquid in the can and save for smoothies or toss.

4. Add Tapioca Starch slowly and begin to beat with a hand mixer until you get a creamy mixture. Then Slowly add stevia and flavor (i.e. vanilla) until you get sweetness you like. (Start on low and move to a higher speed, move the beater in an up and down motion).
