Serve immediately or chill: Serve the whipped coconut cream immediately for the best texture. It can also be chilled for later use, but may firm up slightly. If chilled, re-whip briefly before serving to restore its light and airy texture. (5 minutes)
For best results, use full-fat coconut milk with a high fat content. Thai Kitchen and Aroy-D brands are often recommended.
Make sure your coconut milk is thoroughly chilled; otherwise, the cream will not separate properly.
Powdered sugar is recommended for its fine texture, which dissolves easily into the cream. Granulated sugar can be used, but may result in a slightly grainy texture.
Don't discard the leftover coconut water! It's great in smoothies, curries, or even as a hydrating drink on its own.
If your coconut cream doesn't whip up to stiff peaks, try adding a teaspoon of cornstarch or tapioca starch to help stabilize it.
This whipped cream is best used within 2-3 days, as it may start to lose its texture over time.

Jul 1, 2024The key is definitely to chill everything properly. I didn't chill my bowl enough the first time, and it didn't work.
