Ingredients

13 1/2 oz Coconut Milk, full fat, canned
1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Liquid Stevia Extract, 6 drops. You may also use raw honey or powdered sugar to taste

Process

Place a can of coconut milk in the fridge over night so that the cream will rise to the surface and separate from the water.
Remove the coconut milk from the fridge and turn the can upside down. Using a can opener, open the can of coconut milk from the bottom and discard the water that separated from the cream.
Scoop the thick cream into a small mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract, and stevia (or raw honey or powdered sugar). Whip the cream with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, adding natural food coloring if desired.
Use immediately to pipe onto cooled cupcakes, or place in the fridge until use.

Notes

You can use raw honey or powdered sugar to sweeten this whipped coconut cream. I do not recommend using maple syrup, because it may affect the consistency of the whipped cream. Raw honey is thicker than maple syrup, so it should hold it's shape okay. For best results use a small amount of liquid stevia, or powdered sugar.

This looks like a vegan option to whipped cream. Have no idea how it will hold up, in the fridge, or out of the fridge. I’m dubious about using under fondant. Unfortunately the only way to know is to do a trial run.

I am vegan and have made coconut whipped cream. First of all it is tricky and hard to get to whip up in my experience. I also do not think it is stable enough for what you have in mind. I would suggest a coconut flavored buttercream.

Ok, here it is. The bottom is the coconut/coconut cream, middile is triple choc, top is vanilla/strawberry cream. Accents painted copper. The middle is to represent the glass and copper candle holders she'll have at her ceremony and reception. The stand was black and spray painted to math the copper in her theme.
