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.

If I’m lucky enough to win, I’m definitely trying out one of your fudge baby recipes !
If I win the Magic Bullet, I’ll make myself a pumpkin almond milk smoothie 🙂
If I won a magic bullet, I would make banana soft serve 🙂
or my vegan mocha mousse recipe!
I would make banana ice cream for my boyfriend in large quantities. And smoothies for us both. And something involving peanut butter for our dog, Jim.
Lots of yummy smoothies!
I would make this recipe or a smoothie with frozen banana, coconut butter, and cacao with the magic bullet! I don’t have a blender so can never make smoothies, you see 🙁
If I won the magic bullet, after making a kale, coconut, and raw cacao smoothie, I would definitely try your blended oatmeal. I love that you can blend in the same container you serve it in! So awesome!
I would love to make some soups and smoothies with the magic bullet! I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be to have one!
if i had the magic bullet I would be able to make chili or soup in a snap! chopping and processing would be so much easier for me in my little apartment space! thanks katie! this is awesome!

I have no idea if this is open for non US residents too, but I would definitely make my own hummus and deeeeeeeelicious smoothies.. or even juices! I also follow you in Twitter.
Favourite way to eat cream? with strawberries or raspberries in summer 😛 I wish it was SUMMER!
