Mint Coconut Whipped Cream
- Makes 1 cup

- Place can of coconut milk in refrigerator for at least 12 hours – aim for 24.

Notes
- Add 4-6 drops of peppermint essential oil to the shake to begin with, taste test and add more if you desire a mintier taste. Begin with a small amount, as the strength of the essential oil can vary from brands. Same goes with the liquid stevia – should you desire a sweeter taste.
