In our series of flavored whipped cream recipes, we have so far used syrup (homemade or store-bought) or alcohol (Cointreau, Vodka, Baileys) to flavor our whipped cream. But there is also a way to flavor the whipped cream with grated ingredients like chocolate, coconut, cinnamon, or almonds.
Today's recipe shows you how to make coconut-flavored whipped cream quickly and easily without using artificial ingredients.

Beware, that the amount used varies when switching from shredded coconut to coconut syrup or extract!
