Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened, unflavored cashew milk
• 1 cup refined coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Pour the cashew milk in a bowl and microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Place in a blender with the melted coconut oil. Blend until emulsified on high. In a Vitamix, this only takes 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2. Transfer to a bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours. Overnight is best.
3. Transfer the cream to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat the ingredients together, starting on low speed and increasing to high. It will take 5-10 minutes to start to thicken, but it will happen!
4. Beat until it's quite thick, creamy and light, but be careful not to over mix or it can get too thick. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Serve anywhere you would whipped cream. It also pipes beautifully.
