Hey Chicks,<\/p>\n

So we just got back from Barrie where we were planning our dates for our next FIT CHICKS Weekend Retreat<\/a> (dates will be posted before Xmas so you can grab your spot as the last one sold out!)<\/a> and I have a holiday event I have to bring a dessert to.\u00a0 I have been experimenting with my recipes a lot lately<\/strong> to try to make sure I have some healthy options to bring to events.\u00a0 While I am still deciding on the desser that I will bringt, I already know I want to top with what makes every dessert more delicious…whipped cream!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Maybe I will make a "Chick Approved" Xmas Trifle...YUMMY!<\/p><\/div>\n

That said, whipped cream can be super hard on your digestion (darn dairy!)<\/strong> and packed with a lot of sugar which wreaks havoc on your body & waistline.\u00a0 Not to fear, the FIT CHICKS whipped cream makeover is here!\u00a0 Check out our dairy free, gluten free, sugar free, paleo & vegan friendly, SUPER CREAMY, DELICIOUS, RICH AND LUXURIOUS Coconut Whipped “Cream” Recipe.<\/strong> (I have served this to peeps without telling them it was not whipped cream and they did not even know the difference!)<\/p>\n

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT WHIPPED “CREAM” without the cream \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Place a can of full fat coconut milk in the freezer for approx 30 – 45 min<\/strong>.\u00a0 Try to get organic and\u00a0 BPA free cans not only for your health but it tastes better.<\/p>\n

The creamy goodness rises to the top!<\/p><\/div>2. Do not shake.\u00a0 Take out of the freezer and open.<\/strong> This is where the magic happens! The thick creamy coconut will have separated from the water and risen to the top of the can.<\/p>\n

Scoop out the delicious cream and get ready to whip!<\/p><\/div>3.\u00a0 Scoop out the cream from the top\u00a0 that has seperated from the liquid into your blender<\/strong>. (Note: Keep the liquid that has seperated! It is delicious and can be added to smoothies, soups or sauces. You can even freeze it to use it later)<\/p>\n

Flavour with anything you like!<\/p><\/div>4.\u00a0 Add in whichever flavours you like! <\/strong> I used 1\/2 tsp of vanilla and stevia to sweeten this batch.\u00a0 Coconut cream is naturally sweet and delicious so you don’t really need much \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Super CREAMY, DREAMY DELICIOUS Whipped Cream!<\/p><\/div>5.\u00a0 Blend in your blender or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. <\/strong> Serve immediately or store in the fridge.\u00a0 This will last for approx 1 – 2 weeks but may get a little harder when chilled<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just give it a little whipping love to bring it back to life before serving again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
