With this you need to get the cream out of the cans minus the liquid. Here’s the tip: Don’t shake the cans of coconut milk. Chill the cans overnight in the fridge. Carefully remove them and turn upside down. Use a can opener to remove the bottom of the can. Pour out the liquid then scoop out the white coconut cream that remains in the cans.

- ¼ cup raw honey
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. almond extract
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- Pinch sea salt
Chill the cans of coconut milk overnight. Do NOT shake them at all!
Remove from the fridge carefully and turn the cans over and open from the bottom. Drain the liquid and scoop the white cream into a bowl. Discard the liquid.
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric beater. Whip until creamy. Keep it chilled.
