Equipment
- hand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream chilled overnight to separate the cream from the liquid
- ¼ cup almond butter unsweetened and smooth
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup more to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- Begin by placing a medium-sized mixing bowl in the fridge to chill for about 15 minutes. A cold bowl will help the coconut cream whip up better.
- Open the can of chilled coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream that has risen to the top, placing it into your chilled bowl. Be sure to leave the clear liquid behind, as it can be used for smoothies or other recipes.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the coconut cream on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the coconut cream has reached the desired consistency, add in the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue to whip the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dip is smooth.
- Taste your vegan coconut fruit dip and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding another pinch of salt or little more maple syrup, one teaspoon at a time. Once it’s to your taste, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and pair it with your selected fruits. This dip is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
No Chill?: For the best results, make sure to chill the can of coconut cream in the fridge overnight. This will ensure that the cream separates properly and gives you the right texture for whipping.
Serving Looks: To make the dip more festive, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before serving, or garnish with a mint leaf for a pop of color. If you're serving this dip at a party, consider making fruit skewers for easy dipping and a fun presentation.
Thinning it Out: If the fruit dip is too thick for your liking, you can add a tablespoon of the clear coconut liquid you reserved earlier, or a bit of almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
