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)
hmm…what to choose. Maybe vega protein shakes:)
I would obviously make your Vegan Cream. And I have been making a lot of Green Monsters lately (spinach, banana, milk smoothies), so this would be perfect!
If I won I’d pretty much make everything! I have a small apartment, with a tiny kitchen so I don’t have room for a lot of kitchen gadgets so this magic bullet would be perfect! I’d make these yummy looking creams, babies, you name it!
Would love to make green monsters and banana butter in the bullet:)
hmmmm… guacamole? hummus? I have never used one before!!!
My husband is a smoothie fanatic. The magic bullet would be awesome for him!
(PS I follow you on twitter @atomicbunnie)
Oh, so many options! I’m going to go with salad dressings (miso+tahini+other stuff). I usually stir it with a spoon, and it takes forever for the miso and tahini to incorporate into the water.
I would make smoothies, salad dressings, and more…
I’ve been dreaming up this coconut cream pie smoothie. However, all I own is an emersion blender! I need a magic bullet!!!! In my smoothie would be: greek yogurt, coconut butter, and a couple tablespoons of (sugar free) coconut pudding mix (+ ice and almond milk) sprinkled with toasted coconuts and toasted almonds…ummmmm yummmm?!
I’m hoping this is open to the UK as well…
I would make (amongst many others!) alfredo sauce, my own nut butters and mole fudge babies (hot chocolate fudge babies with a hint of chilli, nom nom!)
