Why you should prepare cream from coconut milk
We love them! And there are several reasons. Cream from coconut milk is made quickly. Very fluffy and creamy, it goes well with pretty much any recipe.
Coconut cream is a great alternative to animal cream. It makes healthy baking recipes just a little bit healthier.
Here's to the best lentil dal with coconut milk you've ever eaten!
If you invite friends who are vegan or have problems with lactose, you have the perfect solution for everyone.
And best of all is the answer to the question of coconut cream calories. Per 100 milliliters, coconut milk has only 191 calories. Normal cream has just under 350. Strong, right? :)
Coconut cream makes a great topping for iced coffee, cold cocoa or fruit.
What you can use coconut cream for
The cream is perfect for cupcake frostings or as a garnish for cakes. Insider tip: Iced coffee with coconut cream! Yummy!
Unlike ordinary cream, coconut cream collapses. If you cool the cream from coconut milk, it becomes solid again and can be whipped again.
So it's best to whip it very fresh before serving. It tastes very good in combination with fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries and mango.

Make coconut cream yourself: The preparation
The only downside is that you have to plan well when making coconut cream yourself. Before you can whip the coconut milk into a healthy cream, the can must be refrigerated for at least 24 hours.
If you need to do it quickly, you can also put the can in the freezer for an hour. Attention: Do not forget it!
There is coconut milk with which this does not work so well. You will see this immediately when you open the can. If the solid part of the coconut milk and the liquid part have not separated from each other, you do not need to try any further.
You can't make cream with light coconut milk either. It simply lacks the fat that we need for whipping.
We have tried it with different. In the photo at the bottom of the coffee you can see the cream that worked well. And with the berry dessert's not worked well. But does not matter, tastes anyway :)
The bowl in which you whip the cream also goes into the refrigerator. It is best to use a metal bowl.
However, normal whipped cream must also be cooled. So this disadvantage is put into perspective again. If you always put coconut milk in the fridge right after buying it, you don't have to think about it. Problem solved :)

By putting it in the refrigerator, the coconut fat becomes solid. It collects on the surface. The clear liquid collects at the bottom of the can.
