Don’t tell me that, as a kid, you didn’t enjoy eating bowls of plain whipped cream.
What? You didn’t? It was just me?
Especially around Thanksgiving, I could’ve done without the pies. Just give me the heavy cream and nobody’d get hurt. Therefore, I am head-over-heels in love with this recipe. It’s light, airy, and… creamy!
It’s the perfect substitute for heavy cream on top of pie, ice cream, or a parfait.
You can even try this in the Voluminous Oatmeal Recipe.
Or just eat the entire bowl straight-up, as I like to do!
Soy-Free Vegan Cream
(Makes 1 1/2 cups: one Katie-sized serving!)
- sweetener of choice
- 1/16th tsp salt
- 1 1/2 T water (20g)
- 1/2 serving agar base (see below)
- 3 drops coconut extract (Optional, but highly recommended)
- optional: cocoa or fruit (for flavored cream)
Instructions: First, make up the agar base. When it’s cooled, put half of it in a blender (or Magic Bullet) with all the other ingredients and blend away. Whip very well. I like to put it in the freezer for a few minutes prior to eating, so it’s super-cold. Optional: add fruit, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, or other add-ins.

Want a version without agar? Try this: Coconut Cool Whip.
Uses for the Vegan Cream: Pour over berries, pie (pumpkin pie?!), waffles, or you can even eat it plain.
Or try it over pancakes, such as my Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes.

I would make the Vegan Cream and pour it all over the protein brownies! OOOOOO–pick me, pick me! 🙂
With my Magic Bullet, I would be making loads and loads of personal-sized vegan Greek yogurt cuppies (I’ve been hooked on the stuff!) and of course, my homemade Katebars!
I would also be making plenty of banana soft serve and frozen-fruit-froyo. I would definitely have to try out this whipped cream recipe..wouldn’t be right if I didn’t! 🙂
Plus, a Magic Bullet would be so handy in college next year..who wants to bring a clunky blender to college? 😉
p.s. I already follow you on Twitter and have subscribed via E-Mail. I’ll be linking back to your blog soon! 🙂
My sister has a Magic Bullet and I am so envious! She makes these amazing (!!) mocha frozen drinks that I adore…that would definitely be the first thing I make!

I’ll make gigantic, frothy mugs of soy peppermint mochas!
I can’t wait to whip up chocolate peanut butter vegan milkshakes if I win…fingers crossed!
I would make smoothies if I were to win. Pick me! You don’t want to deprive someone of smoothies, do you? 😛 😉
i would make pesto, raw alfredo, smoothies, banana soft serve. . mmmm. yay for magic bullet give aways!
I would make a whole lot of babies if I win the magic bullet!! 🙂
With the magic bullet, I would make personal sized vegan pumpkin pies (pumpkin pie mix + cashews + tofu cream cheese). Delicious! Would also come in handy as an at-my-desk smoothie maker.
If I won a Magic Bullet, I would definitely use it for all of my soups. I don’t have a blender or processor or anything, and really want to make some creamy soups!! Soups with chunks are all right, but they just don’t compare:)
