Homemade Coconut Whipped Cream is a healthy alternative to your basic whipped cream! It’s Vegan, keto-friendly, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly! It is so light and fluffy and makes the perfect garnish. It’s what you should serve on Valentine’s Day for a night in!

This homemade fluffy whipped cream is made from a natural sweetener. The pure maple syrup gives it just enough sweetness, NO sugar added! This would make the sweetest Valentine’s dessert if you’re staying home this year to celebrate.

You can always make this in advance, too, which is an extra bonus and I found it pretty easy to make.  I will have to admit that I am not the best baker.  I have always been really into cooking and my baking skills were usually based around the boxed desserts, where you add an egg and some milk.  If I say the dessert is easy that means it’s easy. 

I served this keto whipped cream with some delicious juicy strawberries, but you can pair this whipped cream with any fruit you desire. Leave in the comments your favorite pairing, and I’ll be sure to give it a try.

Ingredients for this 3-ingredient dessert

You will need the following ingredients


The ingredients needed to make this recipe with labels included.
  • canned full-fat coconut milk – stored at least overnight in the coldest part of the refrigerator.  Keeping the coconut milk in the fridge will separate the fat from the liquid. You will use the fat for the whipped cream.
  • pure maple syrup – a natural sweetener.
  • vanilla extract – enhances the whipped cream with an added rich flavor.
  • strawberries – for dipping the whipped cream into.

Directions

Step 1 – Open the cold can of coconut milk; the solid cream will have risen to the top.  Spoon it into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. 

Step 2 – Beat on high until it thickens and soft peaks form. 


Steps one and two of the cooking process to make this recipe.

Step 3 – Slowly fold in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. 

Step 4 – Transfer to a metal or glass bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with your favorite fruit. Mine is strawberries 😉


Steps one and two of the cooking process to make this recipe.

Substitutions and Variations

Here are some options to swap out ingredients if you happen to not have them on hand.

Pure Maple Syrup – powdered sugar or honey.

Vanilla Extract – I have used almond extract before, but it has a much stronger taste and gives the dish an added nutty flavor.

Strawberries – whatever you decide to dip into your whipped cream is totally up to you. Here are some ideas. You can also serve a dollop on top of your favorite pie, as well!

  • apples
  • pineapples
  • peaches
  • graham crackers
  • Oreos
  • vanilla wafers

Cookware

Here are the utensils and appliances you will need to make this dessert dip.

Kitchen Aide Stand Mixer – this is pricey, but an appliance that will last you a lifetime.

Glass Storage Container – I prefer to store whipped cream in glass because glass is non-porous so it does not absorb flavor or odors which helps maintain the freshness of the whipped cream.

How can the kids help

I always say if your kids help make it they’ll eat it, but in this situation the kids will devour it 😉 This recipe is super easy. Your child can help you make the entire thing.

  • Have your child measure out all the ingredients as an added math lesson.
  • Your child can help dump everything into the stand mixer.
