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.

I would love to make banana soft-serve in the magic bullet!
I will make peanut butter. I have just about worn out the motor on my current food processor and I cannot NOT have PB in the house.
Oh WOW I would love to win this magic bullet. Of course, you have numerous recipes I’d love to use it for, but I think I would most commonly use it for magic green smoothies and such, my current blender right now just doesn’t make the cut! I also make a frozen fruit sorbet that I think would work perfectly in this.
Thank you for the shot!
I subscribe to your twitter and email also… no blog though! 🙁
So, I have an entire list printed out of what I would make with a magic bullet. It will suffice to say that you and I, Katie, will be living parallel lives in our eating habits!
Smoothies and peanut butter and chocolate chip combos!
If I had a magic bullet the first thing I’d make is carrot cake macaroon babies! When I first found your blog I tried to make fudge babies and my tiny little food processor couldn’t handle the nuts and dates 🙁 I’ve been dreaming of baby-making ever since.
I would make…raw chocolate cake =)
I saw a recipe and it called for pulsed nuts and dates..and i kinda can’t do that since I dorm. BUT if I get the magic bullet it would be possiblee!! hooorayyy
Hi Katie,
I love your blog, I’ve been following it for a while now. Like you, I am likely to wind up incorporating some form of chocolate into almost every meal 😉
What I would make in the magic bullet: Simple but blissful – My favorite chocolate banana shake:
Brazil nuts, water, frozen banana, flax or chia meal for thickness, dates or agave nectar (I prefer the vanilla infused agave), and of course 3 tablespoons cocoa powder. I also like to throw in some cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Quick, easy, and delightful – brazil nuts are great for a milky/creamy taste.
If I win the magic bullet: PB and banana shakes all year!
I want to win the Magic Bullet! I would use it to make vegan chocolate mousse. Yum!
