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)
Well, whipped cream, duh! Then of course my standard smoothies, sandwich spreads and nut pates, nut butters, pesto, super smooth guacamole and hummus, or even a way to cheat at mixing up single lady cupcake batter 🙂
magic bullet……… green monster! I still have yet to have one. I need me a blender 🙂
Is a Magic Bullet strong enough to make nut butter?
Cause if it is, that’s what I would make.
I actually don’t know… but it can make banana butter! 🙂
Id make chocolate tofu pudding!!
i would make some avocado frosting for my vegan chocolate avocado cake! yummmy but still too lumpy : )

And I subbed by email!
i tried to make vegan whipped cream with an immersion blender the other day. um, no dice. with a magic bullet, my creamy whipped dreams would come true! i’d also love to make anything with cashews- ricotta, cream, you name it.
I SO need this – mine just died on me. I would make a pumpkin pie smoothie. With vegan cream on top. 🙂
I’d make OREO SMOOTHIES 🙂
Forgot to say I also linked back from my blog! http://www.sprint2thetable.com
I want a magic bullet so bad!! I would use it to make smoothies, nut butters, ice cream, etc. The possibilities are endless 🙂
i can not tell you how excited I would be to use the magic bullet to make this whipped cream recipe! finally a vegan cream recipe that doesn’t contain nuts! i would also use it to make coconut butter 😀
I’d make hummus. Homemade is the best!
If I won the magic bullet, I would make BANANA BUTTER!
Hi ya Katie… It is so challenging finding all the ingredients and goodies for your recipes were I live! So I would use the MB to make all the recipes you post, and make all the goodies I can’t buy here. It is so CHALLENGING when one can’t go to the store to buys what one needs… so making is the next best thing… But I would need a MB.
Oh my goodness if I had a MB, I could make all your recipes.
Nut butter, whipped cream, smoothies, hummus, salsa, coconut cream, and I could go on, and on…none of these things can be bought here is our stores!
So I would really make good use of a MB, it would be used in my kitchen every day!!!
Thank you so much for all your advice, ideas, recipes and encouragement!!!! There is not much following her or support here, so reading your blog really helps me in trying to live a wholesome sustainable lifestyle… Thank you : )
I would try to make coconut almond butter with it…and smoothies, obviously:)
