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.
(That’s soyatoo in the photo, but you get the idea)
If I had a magic bullet, I’d be making everything in it from whipped cream (!) to hummus to salad dressings to smoothies! Next year I’ll be in college, and it would be so helpful to be able to make at least some of my food.
that looks so good! i can’t wait to go home for christmas and try all your recipes in my kitchen at home! if i had a Magic Bullet, i think the first thing I would make would be a batch of FUDGE BABIES. they just look incredible! and then i’d take some inspiration from HEAB, and make homemade cacao bliss :]
I will make some yummy breakfast smoothies for my hubby! He never eats breakfast, but would totally love protein shakes if I made them for him 😀
I would love to make some apple pie in a glass, or pumpkin pudding! And I’ve been following you on Twitter (vaguelybackward)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’d make chocolate avocado pudding if I won the Magic Bullet!! Sounds like it would make life so much easier!!
I would definitely make tons of smoothies if I won the Magic Bullet!
I would definitely make smoothies, use it for pancake/waffle batter. ETC ETC ETC is there anything it doesn’t do???
I would make Vegan Soy Free Whipped Cream, Vegan Pudding, Smoothies, Banana Soft Serve…GAH!!! Amazing!
I also suscribe by email 🙂
a magic bullet would really help with making batter for cakes and the like…it’d really help my baking endeavors! i might also try to use it for making nut butter, definitely pureed soups, and maybe an occasional smoothie 🙂
