Coconut has joined the list of superfoods you should be eating everyday. Its benefits are too good to pass up, which is why we have found a way to incorporate it into whipped cream for you.

Directions:
1. Store a can of full-fat coconut milk upside down in the fridge overnight. The goal is to have the solids separate from the liquid. Place a medium-sized bowl in the freezer overnight.
2. The following day, open can (still upside down) and drain off coconut milk that is still left, the rest will be more solid. You can drink this plain or add it to smoothies.
