Coconut Whipped Cream

1 14oz can Coconut Milk

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Place can of coconut milk in the refrigerator over night.  This is VERY important, or the whipped cream will NOT turn out.

Open the can and scoop off the top, creamy, thick, white part (about 3/4 of the can) leaving the watery part in the can

In a chilled bowl, add coconut and vanilla.  Whip on high until firm peaks form.

This whipped cream lasts about 3 days in the refrigerator, but may need re-whipped.

Can’t Get Enough-Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Continuing on ALL things Pumpkin, this week I made a wonderful, quick little breakfast….ahem…I mean lunch.  OK darn it, it’s a dessert, but don’t judge.

I am so absolutely pumpkin-frenzied this time of year, that when meeting a friend for dinner last week, she brought me a little gift.  She know me well!

A Friend That Knows Me Well, Is a Great Friend Indeed

This Pumpkin Pie Pudding is good any time of the day, night, or middle of the night and is literally bowl-licking good!  I promise I won’t add that picture!!

It’s super fast, so you can whip it up in a flash.  It’s the fasted pudding I’ve ever made.
