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.

Not sure where my last comment went! But here goes again 🙂
I’d use the magic bullet for your “whipped cream”, fruit smoothies, and the green smoothies I’ve heard so many good things about!
Thanks!!

Oh, the things I would make!! My vegan Chocolate Ginger Snap Pie would be first. Then some fresh vegan pesto. My hand blender just doesn’t cut it when it comes to these two dishes! I am getting a bit tired of crushing things by hand! 🙂
Hmmm, I def think I would either make hummus or some ice cream 🙂
That’s so funny. I was just telling my husband the other day that I would like a magic bullet. I would definitely use it to chop garlic. I wanted something that I could make a couple of smoothies for the kids. They love it when I make them. I saw that you could use it to make salsa. Yum. I made cashew cream for the first time today and I liked it. I was going to make your cheesecake, but the recipe would not pop up so I used it to make cashew cream. I wonder what you could make with that. Do you have any suggestions?
Must whip the beans, my daily staple. Add veggies, rice, garlic, spice or anything you like! Yum, yum, yum, eat for dinner or for lunch, but don’t forget the beans must be mush! Hummus good, garbanzo : ( . Love the taste, not the texture. That bullet sure would make my lunches from home a “take away breeze”.
yo mrs pretty cocoakattie !! :O
hehe 😉 i am now making this whipped cream! 😀
but instead using soymilk i use 4T coconut cream dissolved in 2 C of water.. i am making huge serving 😉 hehee..
i cant wait to taste it! i want it super cooollddd haha ;D
u have any idea for my toppings? 😀
cacao nibs! Or layer it in a parfait… or chocolate chips… or whatever else you can dream up :).
Hi Katie,
I tried making cocoa pudding last night. I used 1 1/3 c. almond milk, 2 1/2 tsp. agar agar powder, 1 TBSP cocoa, and a little salt. I brought everything to a boil, let it simmer, then turned off the heat to let it cool a bit. I then poured it into a plastic container and let it cool quite a bit more before I refrigerated it. In the morning, it had solidified/gelled, and it was very dense and hard. I tasted it (tasted awesome!), but the texture was off. I put it in my foodprocessor to see what that would do, and it turned into a mousse. It’s delicious, but I wanted to know how to make it more pudding/yogurt-like. Did I use too much agar agar?
I may try your recipe for vegan creme, but I still wanted your input on this recipe.
Thanks!
Beth
Hey Beth! I’ve actually never used agar powder, only the flakes… so I really have no idea. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
dang girl! almost had a heart attack b/c it looks so good! haha this is awesome~thanks for the recipe!
Is this suppose to be able to be cut; that solid?
Just tried making this, its 5* Whipped cream! I also made some with my cream whipper and it was no way near as good quality. Need I say more 😉 x
