Paleo Whipped Cream

Paleo Whipped Cream, or Whipped Coconut Cream, is a must-have.  Why not try jazzing it up with one of these 2 bonus flavors….

I've got bad news.  I don't have an interesting story today.  I don't wanna talk about my car problems and how I got a refresher in how-to-jump-start-a-car-battery (no, I didn't do anything silly like leaving the lights on – just some electrical problems that appeared at midnight on a weekend…).  I don't want to talk about the TV series that I'm hooked on right now (True Detective).  Or how I haven't got my Samsung Galaxy S5 yet because my service provider wouldn't come close to offering what I was hoping for a new plan.

So I won't tell you about any of it.

I'm just gonna talk about this great dessert topping.  I actually find Paleo whipped cream (whipped coconut cream) way better than “normal” whipped cream.  But to be fair, I love coconut!

I will start with the basics, and then make some suggestions as to how to make it even tastier – and fancy!  I've had a flavor combination in my head for a while.  Ever since I had the (NOT Paleo) waffles dipped in an amazing white chocolate pistachio rosewater sauce at the Medina Cafe in Vancouver (which actually has some amazing Paleo options as well).  So I tried making a rosewater whipped cream, but I don't know if it was the rosewater that I bought or what exactly, but it was a fail:  it was too perfumy, and tasted like a floral soap.

While on my way to find rosewater (after looking into how to make my own), I was struck by amazing scent of the lilac bushes nearby.  Yes!  That would be amazing and decadent!  And just for fun, why not try adding cacao powder?  Let me tell you, this combination was fantastic with the blackberry mint smoothie (also worked well when the mint was replaced with basil).

1/4 – 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 tsp lavender extract
fruit zests

**Coconut cream can be purchased on its own, or acquired from canned full-fat coconut milk: Chill can in the refrigerator, preferably overnight. Do not shake. The white cream will solidify and float to the top, separating from the clear coconut water. Scoop out the cream only. The coconut water can be used in smoothies or in chocolate chia mousse, or drank on its own.
