  • coconut whip:
    • can of full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
    • a few tablespoons of maple syrup or sifted powdered sugar
    1. Make the coconut whip by carefully opening the coconut milk can and scooping off the thick solidified part on the top. Don’t move or shake the can too much, it’s important that the solid and liquid parts stay separate. (save the liquid part for another use). Whisk the solid part vigorously by hand (or in a mixer). Add maple syrup or powdered sugar to make it as sweet as you like. Spoon a dollop on each muffin and sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon.
