Refrigerate the bowl for a minimum 30 minutes before use, then scoop the cold coconut cream into the cold bowl, leaving any liquid behind

Whip the coconut cream for 1-2 minutes until it thickens

Add in the agave or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and then whip on medium to high speed for 1-3 minutes or more, until stiff peaks form. Check the consistency every 30 seconds so it isn’t over-mixed
