You'll never miss the whipped topping on that piece of pie again!
Dairy Free Coconut Milk Whipped Topping
1 can full fat refrigerated coconut milk (I use Thai Kitchen)
1/3 cup powdered sugar (heaping; if you do not eat corn, Whole Foods carries their brand of powdered sugar that is corn free. It is made with tapioca starch instead.)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 simple ingredients are all it takes to make this creamy dairy free whipped topping!
Chill the unopened can of coconut milk in the fridge before you begin. I usually pop a can in the fridge when I buy it and leave it there until I'm ready to use it. If you don't do that, give it an hour or two to fully chill. It needs to be cold so the cream and liquid portions separate. When you open the can, the solid portion will be on top.
That's the part you'll want to use. Scoop that into your blender.
Gluten Free Gigi Tip!
I find a blender works best for this recipe. I have made it in a standard blender and in my Blendtec, Red Hot Momma (click here to meet Red Hot Momma. She's cool!). I do not recommend using a food processor. I'm sure a VitaMix would work well based on my Blendtec results.
Chilled coconut cream from canned coconut milk.
This is what your coconut milk will look like. It's pretty firm, don't be alarmed. Scoop all of the solid cream into your blender. Hang on to the liquid underneath.
Gluten Free Gigi Tip!Don’t toss out that leftover liquid! You can add it to soups or curries, or use it as part of the cooking liquid for rice, quinoa, or other gluten free grains. It’s also a terrific addition to a smoothie!
Next add the sugar and vanilla and blend on high to achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
Rich, creamy dairy free whipped topping!
As soon as your mixture looks like this, you're all done! It only takes a few minutes, start to finish!
Enjoy in your favorite dessert!
