whip it good! page

what is the trick to making whipped cream from coconut milk with an immersion blender? i lost the cord to my hand mixer, but cannot get it to whip right? or do you have to use only coconut cream?

[Dr. Bork Bork]

I can never get it to do it either, but it helps when the cream is super cold & semi-solid

[tcseacliff]

you would think with all the fats , it would whip up a storm! keep trying I guess!

so the cream, is better than the miklk?

[Dr. Bork Bork]

think about coconut milk & all its goodness in the same context as dairy. Cream (fat) whips. Milk doesn't.

aah, skim the thick stuff, use that. got it! will give it a go! last time i shook it first!

[Dr. Bork Bork]

Yeah, don't do that if you intend on purposing it for whipped deliciousness. Just set it in the fridge, unshaken, and let it chill out over night. Then scoop the fat and whip it.
Shake it if you are going to use it for anything else.

live and learn, makes you wonder the crap grok put into his pie hole , trial and error wise! DOH! we have doctors and hospitals and forums! poor guy!

[Dr. Bork Bork]

One of the reasons we are attracted to sweet. Grok knew sweet things wouldn't immediately kill him (thanks to trial & error)

Put your can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, then skim the cream off the top to whip and drink the remaining liquid from the bottom of the can.
