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 love my blender, but I would definitely use to magic bullet to actually make my smoothies PORTABLE! I love the size! In keeping things seasonal, my post workout smoothie of choice recently has been pumpkin pie smoothie: banana, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla protein powder, a TB of nut butter and ice. delicious!
I would use the Magic Bullet to first make that amazing vegan whipped cream! After that, the possibilities are endless! Nut butters, squash mousses, sauces, soups, and of course my daily green smoothie. Please pick me because my cheap blender is about to die soon!
With a MB, I would make lots of peanut butter, soymilk, and frozen banana smoothies when it’s hot outside, and lots of savory/creamy dressings and vinaigrettes for my roasted veggies when it’s cold outside 🙂
I think it would have to be all about butternut puree/mousse, pureed mixed berries (if you blend them when they’re part-thawed it’s like an amazing sorbet – but my hand blender does NOT like it so I have to drag out my prehistoric “food processor” handed on from my mum 🙁 )
Plus, nut butter, the agar pudding, bean burgers… I could write an essay but I think I’d drool too much!
I have always wanted to use a Magic Bullet to make smoothies RIGHT IN THE SERVING cup! Then I can put one of the cute colored bands on it to differentiate it from others’ smoothies.
Seriously, I’ve wanted to do this since I first watched the infomercial.
I’d whip up some blended oats ASAP! We used to have a Magic Bullet, but my brother in Philly kidnapped it. Its the perfect size for a self sufficient feeder/cook such as myself.
I would make smoothies, blended oats, and basically anything blended that I wouldnt want to use a Vita for! Sometimes the vita is just tooo strong!
In addition to whipped cream, I’d be whipping up some peanut butter babies! Great giveaway Katie!
i would make loads of cream and smoothies!
If I had a Magic Bullet, I’d use it to make healthy baby food for my new baby boy. A Magic Bullet is already on my Christmas list!
Love the whipped cream recipe, BTW. 😉
