Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Electric hand or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup cold full-fat coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup cold heavy cream, 1 cup cold full-fat coconut cream, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup sugar.
- Whip: Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn grainy.

Notes
Tip: When making the Coconut Whipped Cream frosting make sure to use full fat coconut cream, the light version will not provide the volume you need. Make sure it is cold! This will help ensure that the frosting will stiffen as you whip it.
This frosting was created to pair with our Coconut Ricotta Cake!
