RAISE THE WOOF
A Dairy-Free Puppuccino, Coconut Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 can coconut milk*
Directions:
- Pour one entire can of coconut milk into a bowl (both liquid and solid parts).
- Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until the solids are incorporated into the liquids. The results should be frothy.
- Chill overnight, or until quite cold, so that your cream will hold its shape.
- When you’re ready to whip, give the coconut another quick stir for best results.
- Pour coconut milk into the canister of your whipped cream maker* and close securely.
- Add whipped cream charger and shake the coconut milk gently.
- Spray your coconut whipped cream onto your puppy pastries, puppuccinos, or right into your dog’s mouth (most entertaining option, clearly)!
- No whipped cream maker? Beat the chilled coconut mixture with a balloon whisk (or in your mixer) until stiff peaks form.
NOTES
*Drinkable coconut milk is too thin for this recipe. You need the canned product with its thick, fatty goodness to stabilize the cream.
* No whipped cream maker? Beat the chilled coconut mixture with a balloon whisk (or in your mixer) until stiff peaks form.
