At the request of Healthy Living How To reader, Judy, I made a short video to show you how easy it is to make dairy-free whipped cream with canned coconut milk a little vanilla stevia and an iSi Cream Whipper. If you aren't sensitive to dairy, then go all out and use real heavy whipping cream.
Dairy-Free Whipped Cream
Ingredients
- 1 13.5 fl oz. can Coconut Milk
- 15 drops Vanilla Stevia
Directions
- Vigorously shake coconut milk then chill in refrigerator for 8 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator, shake really well again.
- Pour coconut milk into iSi Cream Whipper
- Add stevia drops.
- Cover and shake.
- Charge.
- Dispense.
Oh Vanessa, thank you VERY much for your video! Now I’m not so intimidated to try and use my ISI whipper. You made it look easy! My can of coconut milk is in the refrigerator now chilling and I can’t wait to try some of your yummy looking dessert recipes. Yay! 🙂
Yay!
I recall your recipe having an egg in it… is that optional?
Yes, no egg necessary. Just coconut milk and stevia.
Thanks for the info about the ISI whipper. I read another of your posts recently where you mentioned this and I looked into it briefly. I hadn’t ever heard of these cream whippers previously…BUT, I went to an estate sale about a week after I first read about it (in your blog), and I found one at this sale for $5.00. I wondered if it would still be functioning, but I took a chance for $5. I was able finally to find some of the chargers locally, and yes it does work!
So thank you for talking about this wonderful little ‘appliance’ thing in your blog. I wouldn’t have had a clue what that thing was at that estate sale had I not read about it. Coconut whipped cream is wonderful! Love it in coffee especially. So many potential ways to use it. 🙂
That’s awesome Jen! I actually found a brand new one at Marshalls’ for half the price and couldn’t believe my eyes. I had never seen one there before. I promptly bought it. I gifted it to my mother-in-law as she had been wanting one as well. She was thrilled.
Vanessa, I love making whipped cream with coconut milk! Thanks for putting together this fantastic how-to-video on how to do it. I will share this with my Facebook fans tomorrow. Have a good week!
Thank you Shelley, same to you!
Dear Vanessa,
I always learn so much. 🙂 Quick question, can I store the ISI whipper in the refrigerator? Do I remove the charger and cartridge if I do?
Thank you for always sharing!
I’d love one of those gadgets but man, are they spendy. None have come up at yard sales or Goodwill here…….
I have the ISi cream whipper and have done what you do and mine still comes out sort of on the runny side. Not as thick looking as yours. Am I shaking it too much in the whipper or maybe too much? I usually give it 5-6 shakes.
TIA
Hi Betsy, what brand of coconut milk are you using?
Instead of the drops of vanilla stevia, is it possible to mix, say, a few drops of vanilla extract with some powdered stevia/sugar replacement/sugar?
And, ok so I’m not a huge baker and have never actually whipped homemade cream, but, when using it without the ISI (and just a regular whipping machine), the recipes usually say to just use the top of the coconut milk? Is that a taste preference kind of thing, or can you use the whole can BECAUSE of the ISI?
Thanks!
Laura
Yes you can use vanilla extract. Yes you can whip the cream at the top of the coconut milk can, however, with this recipe there is no waste as you use the whole can!
Hi Vanessa,
Do you have any suggestions for a dairy-free cream that does not use coconut or cashews?
I’m on a blood-type diet and I can’t have any of these!
Thanks
Rebecca
Sorry Rebecca I do not.
Tovolo Mini Whip Cream Whipper is $14.00 on Amazon. It is hand pumped, my granddaughter loves to help me make whipped cream. Takes only a couple od minutes. Check it out. They have an Easy Prep Quick Mixer too. Hopefully you can buy it from Vanessa’s Amazon store.
this is awesome! I have the isi whipper and LOVE how sturdy and well made it is, but have a friend who is lactose intolerant.
I am going to try this but we only have coconut cream – can coconut cream be used, and is there a difference in preparation when using coconut cream instead? (maybe not chill ahead?)
I use a whole can of coconut milk. Have not tried coconut cream in my iSi Cream Whipper.
