    Tips, Tricks, & Variations for Vegan Whipped Cream

    Use Immediately

    This whipped coconut cream whipped cream tastes best when used immediately. However, it can last in the fridge—with proper storage—for up to one week. Just know that it might harden during that time and require mixing to soften.

    Cream vs Milk

    Make sure not to mistake coconut cream and coconut milk as the same ingredient. This vegan whipped cream requires coconut cream. Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk, so if you use coconut milk, you won't have the right consistency for whipped cream.

    Chill Cream

    Chilling the coconut cream in the fridge overnight is an essential component of this fantastic recipe. Make sure you don't rush this step. The chilling step makes the cream firm, which makes it easier to whip. If the cream isn't chilled, it won't turn into whipped cream.

    Chill Tools

    Heat and whipped coconut cream do not mix well. Chilling your bowl, spoon, and any other utensils that will come in contact with the recipe will help keep your coconut cream at the right consistency.

    Adjust Sweetness

    We get it—some of us have a sweet tooth, and that's fine! Simply adjust the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to get the taste you're craving.

    Need some ideas for what to pair this vegan whipped cream with?

    First—can we just say—we are not against serving this whipped cream in a bowl and indulging in it alone! It's so tasty that it doesn't need a partner. Of course, it's fantastic with nearly anything else as well, but honestly, it's also a fine dessert on its own.

    But for those of you who want something more, we have you covered! Here are a couple of our favorite dishes to pair with this vegan whipped cream:

    • Brownie Mug Cake
    • Vegan Vanilla Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
    • Gingerbread Waffles
    • Vegan Apple Crisp

    Vegan Whipped Cream FAQs

    How long can this whipped cream be stored?

    This whipped cream is best enjoyed immediately, but it can be refrigerated for a week. However, it might harden and require mixing upon use. 

    Can you over-whip this whipped cream?

    Over-whipping the coconut cream might lead to separation. Instead, just whip the cream until it is just smooth and creamy—no more.

    What is the difference between coconut cream and coconut milk?

    Coconut cream has a higher level of fat. Basically, it has less water and more coconut, so it has a thicker consistency. It's essential that you use coconut cream with this whipped cream recipe and not coconut milk.
