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 am sooo dying to make your Strawberry Shortcake in a Bowl! Early Happy Thanksgiving wishes 🙂
If I were to win your Magic Bullet Thanks Giveaway then I would def try out this vegan cream. But I’m also dying to make some homemade hummus 🙂
If I had a Magic Bullet, I’d be making this vegan whipped cream and trying some of your recipes that involve cashews too! Happy early Thankgsiving!

Right now I’d make a delicious batch of hummus in a magic bullet because I’ve been reading the hummus blog (http://humus101.com/EN/) all morning!
I will use the Magic Bullet for this cream or for all of those fun little babies we create 🙂
Am I really the first one to enter the magic bullet giveaway!? If I won, I’d use mine to make green smoothies (how original, i know). Sometimes, I’m just too lazy to wash my regular blender so the magic bullet would be a great addition to my kitchen.
I’d try this vegan cream, which looks so delicious in your pictures!
Happy Thanksgiving, Katie!
Fairly new to your blog, and although I’m not vegan your recipes never cease to make me drool! Keep it up! 🙂
Oh, and I’d make green monsters, after green monsters in the MB! It would actually make me drink them more since it would be so much easier to clean than my blender!
