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 won a magic bullet I would use it to make smoothies, and whipped cream of course 🙂
I follow you on twitter!
I’d love to make smoothies – it would be so easy in a magic bullet!
Yep… I think a big bowl of this is in order. I might make add chocolate. I bought the big thing of cocoa powder when I started reading your blog!
If I won the Magic Bullet, I would use it to make smoothies 🙂 and also to blend up frozen bananas and peanut butter into a lovely “ice creamy” treat!
If I win the Magic Bullet I will make this recipe in it! I will also make my post-workout smoothies in it. Yum!
Umm, I will DEFINITELY be making some Fudge Babies with that Magic Bullet! They’re too hard to make in my Vita because it’s so big. 😛 I also will blend up my oatmeal with the MB. 😀
I followed you. 🙂
Oh Magic Bullet….how I have coveted thee!! The infomercial never ceases to draw me in no matter how many times I’ve watched it! There are so many things I would make–from homemade salad dressings to green smoothies to your delicious pumpkin cream mousse!
I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
I would make nut butter in a Magic Bullet! I’ve done some “experimenting” with my VitaMix, but the square-ish shape of the container just does NOT make nut butter-making very easy! 🙂 I’ve never used a Magic Bullet but from what I know, they are round, so it would be easier to make nut butter and even fudge babies!
