Instructions

In a chilled bowl, whip the coconut cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed to medium peaks, 2 to 3 minutes. Don't overwhip or it turns grainy.
Spread or pipe over a completely chilled pie just before serving.

Tips

Chill the bowl and whisk for 10 minutes first; cold cream whips faster and holds longer.
Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
Best vanilla for this: Tahitian (floral, cherry, anise), or Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic). Any pure vanilla works.
Storage: Refrigerate the topped pie and serve within 1 day.
