Whipped Cream (Inspired by Gabe the cow)

     
We saw Gabe just a few hours before his last breath on 1/15/2012. A veal cow normally lives 16 weeks in horrific circumstances. Gabe was lucky he was able to live most of his 16 years of life in a place where people could love him.

Gabe was a companion cow to Emily, the famous cow at the “Peace Abbey.” You can read the story about Emily at http://www.peaceabbey.org/tour-guide/emily-the-cow/

Gabe was spotted brown and white and while it may just be a simple honor to name a recipe after Gabe, this is the best whip cream ever. 

1 can coconut milk (not the “light” version)
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
½ tablespoon vanilla powder


 
Chill the coconut milk over night or freeze the coconut milk at least 2 hours.  When you open the can, place the firm white part in a blender. (Save the rest for coffee or smoothies.) Add the vanilla and whip in a blender until it is looks like homemade whip cream.

You can always add more vanilla as needed.
