The trick to making this dairy-free whipped coconut cream is to open the can of coconut milk and allowing the can to sit uncovered overnight in the refrigerator. This produces a thick cream on top. Use only the thick cream on top and spoon it out for this recipe, leaving the coconut water on the bottom of the can. This can be used in smoothies or another recipe. You can keep it refrigerated and uncovered as it will continue to thicken in the fridge. Enjoy!
