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.

If I had a magic bullet I would finally be able to create wonderful smoothies! Everyone raves about them but I am sorely lacking in appliances.
I use the Magic Bullet for grinding up flax seed or oatmeal to make a flour. Works great!
magic bullet=smoothies! or home-made single servings of soup! yum.
I just recently ran across your blog, and I love it. 🙂
I’m not a vegan, but I really enjoy a lot of vegan recipes, and I’m always looking for healthier options…
If I had a magic bullet, I’d make some of your vegan ice cream!
I’ve been wanting a magic bullet for soooo long!they’re not available in the UK 🙁
i would make everything from oatmeal to soup to smoothies…
and nut butters like almond butter which i loooove but are almost impossible to find here!
i want one so bad!
Hee hee, me too! England’s a nightmare for things like this (and nut butter but have you tried the Meridian almond butter? Amazing)
This sounds like a great giveaway. And great isn’t even the right word but my vocabulary doesn’t provide a better one 😀 . It’s so nice (and selfless) of you to offer something like that to your readers.
With a Magic Bullet I would probably make a lot of smoothies because I’ve always wanted to try them seeing them on other people’s blogs and more desserts with dried fruit and nuts for which the blender at home isn’t powerful enough and I have to mash them by hand. Cooking and fitness in one 🙂 .
smoothies, babies, softserve, you name it! thankyou Katie! 🙂
I would make energy bars.
Love your blog! I would make all sorts of different kinds of hummus with the Magic Bullet! Happiest of Thanksgivings to you!
I know so many people who have magic bullets and love them! I would definitely use it to make iced coffee drinks that are alot healthier than those ones from starbucks! I would love to try your cream topping for the top of some of those drinks – guilt free whipped topping? Count me in!
