What you do:

1. Chill the bowl and whisk of a standard mixer in the freezer for 30 minutes.
2. Scrape the cream from the top of the coconut milk can and discard the remaining liquid.
3. In the bowl of stand mixer, add the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Beat 1 to 2 minutes until fluffy. Store in refrigerator.

Why would you "discard the remaining liquid."? Is the liquid good for not one single thing? Thanks
