Love whipped cream, but can't do dairy? Not a problem! Coconut whipped cream is a wonderful alternative that's fully dairy-free without sacrificing any of the wonderful taste and texture.

Tip

If not using the coconut cream immediately, store in the refrigerator for up to three days. If it hardens while in the fridge, simply let it sit a room temperature for a bit, then re-whip until light and fluffy.
