Coconut Whip – A Dairy Free Alternative to Whip Cream
Coconut whip cream is not only a perfect dairy free substitute for whipped cream but it is seriously delicious. I think it is way better than any whip cream you can find in the store when it comes to the flavor and creamy texture. Since it is made from just pure coconut milk with a touch of stevia and vanilla extract if desired, it is also low carb and sugar free.
But this recipe is not just delicious, it also comes with some amazing nutritional benefits. Coconut milk is full of B Vitamins, C and E, and is also rich in magnesium, phosphorus, iron and potassium. It’s loaded with antioxidants that can fight free radicals and rebuild cells damaged cells. It has been touted to help reduce inflammation, help with weight loss and have antibacterial, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Coconut milk has also been shown to help improve gut health by decreasing inflammation, improving digestion and feeding the “good guys” in the intestine. So imagine eating your pumpkin pie and topping it with a delicious whip that is also healthy for you.
This recipe is super easy to make with just a few ingredients and a little planning the night before. I hope you enjoy it and let shoot me a note to let me know what you think.
