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 have been wanting to make all you recipes for quite some time, actually ever since I found your blog, specially the raw cheese cake!, it looks something to die for…cant wait to try it out some day.
I’d love to try out the banana blender cereal or, with the cold weather over here, perhaps some nice blended grains. ;]
I also follow you in Twitter, I am oODragonflies!
I’ve been wanting a Magic Bullet to make green smoothies! But I love to cook, so I know I’d find a million ways to use it. I hate getting out my food processor b/c it’s so big and has too many parts, so this would help me make all the recipes I avoid (or half-ass!) because I don’t want to lug out and wash my food processor.
I stumbled on your blog and love it!!
You have such creative ideas that are sooo delicious sounding!!
With the magic bullet I would make banana peanut butter soft serve, raw dough balls, vegan whip cream, and some kind of pumpkin soup!
I want to make smoothies and vegan cheesecake!

I’m so glad I stumbled across your blog! I’ve been looking for blogs with good vegan recipes! I would definitely use a magic bullet to make delicious, fresh salsa and smoothies.
Hey!
With the magic bullet I think I would probably make my many smoothies that I love. I am *trying* to recover from anorexia and smoothies are always my go to when I need a few extra calories without going overboard and having a complete panic attack.
I will also follow you on twitter and link back to this in my blog entry tonight (http://livingeatingdreaming.blogspot.com/)
