SERVES 8

1 (14-oz [414-ml]) can full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream

2 tbsp (16 g) organic powdered sugar

2 pinches of fresh or dried orange zest (optional)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (use gluten-free)

Refrigerate the can of coconut milk for 24 hours before whipping the cream. Place the sugar and the optional zest and extract in a medium bowl. Scoop out the solid white cream from the coconut milk can (reserve the liquid to cook rice or curries), and place in a bowl. Using a handheld mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream for 5 minutes, or until stiff enough to stick to the whisk. Refrigerate until ready to use, or up to 3 days.
