Use this whipped coconut cream recipe for topping your favorite desserts (how about on top of blueberry crisp, fresh peach pie, vegan peanut butter chocolate pie, or a vegan chocolate milkshake?), or for layering in these amazing strawberry shortcake biscuits, or adding a generous dollop on top of vegan eggnog or vegan coquito? Need a quicker dessert to top with vegan whipped cream? Make this no egg mocha mug cake!
What you'll need to make Coconut Whip Cream:
- You'll need one can of Coconut Cream (a richer version of coconut milk) or two cans of high quality coconut milk (you'll use only the cream from the regular coconut milk as described later). Keep it in the fridge overnight before using.
- Agave - I like this sweetener as it is more healthy and tastes neutral but powdered sugar or maple syrup works well also!
- Vanilla Extract - I love Vanilla plus I think this flavor makes the coconut flavor less dominant.

Steps to make Coconut Whip Cream:
Start by chilling your can (or cans) of Coconut Cream or Coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Don't shake them!
Chill your mixing bowl.
Carefully open your cans of cream or coconut milk and remove only the solid cream, and place this in your bowl. (If you are using coconut cream there will be little to no reserve liquid, if using cans of coconut milk, you will have quite a bit of liquid you can save to make smoothies with later!)
Add Agave and Vanilla to the bowl.
Use your electric beaters to whip ingredients together until light and fluffy. Avoid over whipping as this can cause the whip cream to become more runny.
You know your coconut whip cream is ready when light peaks form. Usually takes about 15-30 seconds to whip.
After whipping, return your coconut whip cream to the refrigerator to stay cold until serving.
Tips for making Coconut Whip Cream:
If you over-whip and it gets thin: Don't panic!! Just put it in the refrigerator and it will become firmer in about 30 minutes or so. Fluff with a fork and serve!
Keep everything cold - the colder it all is, the better. The bowl, the cream, agave, beaters etc. Put it all in the fridge if you like!
Sweeteners - if you are looking for a whip cream that will stay a bit more solid, use powdered sugar in place of agave. It's still going to soften in the hot sun, but it will stay a bit firmer for longer.
How long will Coconut Whip Cream keep in the refrigerator:
Your Coconut Whip Cream will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator. It'll become a bit more solid, so just let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before serving and fluff with a fork! Voila!

Recipe
Vanilla-Agave Coconut Whip Cream (Vegan)
Ingredients
- 14 oz can Coconut Cream, OR two Cans high quality full fat coconut milk - chilled overnight, do NOT shake
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2-3 tablespoon Agave Nectar, or maple syrup or powdered sugar
Instructions
- First, chill your can of coconut cream (or cans of coconut milk) in the fridge overnight. Do NOT shake it.
- An hour or so before mixing, place your mixing bowl, measured vanilla, and agave into the fridge also!
- Carefully open your coconut cans. If it’s a can of coconut cream, you’ll be using almost all of it, minus maybe a few drops of coconut liquid in the bottom of the can. If you’re using high quality full-fat coconut milk you’ll need to be careful to only get the firm white coconut fat on the top of the can. You don’t want that coconut juice for this! Save it for your smoothie or something later!
- Now add your agave nectar and vanilla extract and whip with electric beaters for a minute or two increasing speed as you go! Once it’s fluffy you’re done. Place in serving container and it’s ready to serve or return to the fridge for a few minutes to several hours, until you are ready to serve!! (It’s even great after overnight but not quite as fluffy.)

Do you refrigerate the cans of cocoanut cream/ milk before whipping? Can I use maple syrup in place of agave
Kate
Yes, you can use agave. And yes, refrigerate the coconut cream.
Maddy
I will definitly try this recipe, vegan whip cream can be pricey, you mentioned that powder sugar can be used, what proportions do you use in this recipe.
Rebecca
Great question! The powdered sugar is really to taste, but I usually use about a tablespoon or two depending on how sweet I'm feeling that day!
Sammy
I looove all of your recipes! This coconut whip is so easy which helps me in the kitchen when I don’t have much time to cook/make things from scratch:/ can you freeze this and if so how long will the whip last? I don’t want to buy coconut whip not only due to expenses, but also because of plastic containers. I’d really like to make this, but I wish it lasted as long as store bought ones):
Rebecca
Thanks so much! Your enthusiasm just made my day! I haven't tried freezing this but I think it would work. You'd need to allow plenty of time to thaw and possibly need to rewhip it a bit but at least there would be no waste! I wish it would last longer in the refrigerator too!
