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)
I’ll make a green monster smoothie!! Woot!
This is perfect! I can’t do soy, so all of the “creamy, dairy-free” recipes out there are forbidden. It’s fabulous to find something creamy, sweet, and delicious like this!
A Magic Bullet would be amazing to have at school! I would whip up a batch of avocado chocolate pudding, to start! That’s with an avocoado, agave, a sliver of apple, raw cacao, and warm coconut butter (although not necessary with the avocado- i just love it). Next up would be pureed cinnamon coconut acorn squash!
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. 🙂
