Bourbon Vanilla Bean Coconut Whipped Cream

Prep: 10 minutes
Serves 8 (makes about 2 cups)

This whipped topping only takes 10 minutes to make, will impress your foodie friends and elevates every dessert to professional quality. It’s lightly sweet, ultra thick and creamy, beautifully speckled with fresh vanilla bean and perfectly balanced with a hint of oaky bourbon.

Instructions:

Open the can of chilled coconut cream and scoop off only the firm, fatty, white top portion into a medium sized bowl.  Reserve the fluid for smoothies later.  Slice the vanilla bean pod length-wise, scrape out the inner flesh and add to the coconut cream.  Add remaining ingredients and use a hand mixer on high speed to whip the mixture until stiff peaks are formed, this takes about 5 minutes.  Store covered in the fridge for up to a week.
