Ingredients
3 Cups full-fat coconut malai, refrigerated overnight
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2½ tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, optional, depending on thickness of your cream
salt to taste
Directions
- Add coconut malai to a mixer. Make sure the malai have separated from the coconut water – if it mixes, your coconut cream will not whip.
- Beat the on high speed until it begins to thicken and and peaks form. Don’t over-mix or your cream will soften too much.
- Add the honey, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest, and mix until combined. If your coconut cream is very thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice, if desired. If your cream isn’t thick enough for the additional liquid, skip the lemon juice.
- Chill the cream in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
