Recipe Tips

Crush the Cookies Really Fine

You want the cookie crumbs to look like wet sand, not chunky pieces. A food processor works best, but if you don’t have one, put the cookies in a sealed bag and roll over them with a rolling pin.

From my experience, big cookie chunks make the crust fall apart when you slice into it. Fine, even crumbs hold together much better and give you clean slices.

Make Sure Your Cream Cheese Is Fully Softened

Take the dairy-free cream cheese out of the fridge about an hour before you start. Cold cream cheese won’t blend smoothly and you’ll end up with little lumps in your filling.

My favorite trick here is to press the cream cheese with a spoon before mixing. If it gives easily and feels soft, it’s ready to go.

If you forget to set it out early, you can leave it at room temperature until it softens, but don’t microwave it because it can turn watery.

Chill the Coconut Whipping Cream Before Whipping

The coconut whipping cream needs to be cold to whip up properly and hold those medium peaks. I recommend putting it in the fridge overnight, and even chilling your mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes.

If the cream is warm, it just stays runny no matter how long you whip it. Cold cream and cold tools make all the difference for a light, fluffy filling.

Popular Questions

Why does my coconut whipping cream not whip up properly?

The most common reason is that it wasn’t cold enough, so make sure the can and even your bowl and beaters have been chilled before you start.

Only the thick, solid part of the coconut cream whips well, so if you’re using a can of coconut milk, scoop out the firm cream on top and leave the watery liquid behind.
