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)
Actually I have one, but Brandie, my vegan daughter, really needs one. She uses hers almost daily and the motor in almost burned up. Please bullet fairy, send me a magic bullet so I can give it to Brandie!!!
smoothies!! specifically a green monster because i haven’t tried one yet 🙂
I would make individual smoothies for everyone!
I would make some madly delicious smoothies in my magic bullet! Jamba Juice has got nothing on me. 🙂

GREEN SMOOTHIE!!
my favorite thanksgiving dish is cranberry sauce. i just made my own for the first time… not great, but not too shabby. could use some vegan cream on top. as for the magic bullet giveaway, i keep frozen berries in my freezer to make breakfast smoothies, but there are so many little parts to my food processor, it’s a little bit of a pain to clean. plus, the texture changes when i store it in the fridge or freezer. it would also be pretty helpful for mincing garlic – i use garlic in almost everything i make!
i also linked back to you at vegetablestew.tumblr.com!
I would make smoothies, but really, vegan cream sounds pretty good to me too. I have never tried a vegan version of whipped cream (or real whipped cream, for that matter) but I remember when I was little and I would eat little bites of dessert, I usually liked fluffier and airier types of dessert rather than the dense stuff. So I would probably love vegan cream!
The first recipe I’ll make will be your fudge babies! I’ve been wanting to try them for quite awhile!
