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 would make my own butters… Like almond butter and cashew butter!!! yum
I love whipped cream on everything. I used to love Cool Whip and then it just started tasting chemically to me (understandably if you read the list of ingredients!). I can’t bring myself to use regular whipped cream because of the loads of milk fat so I am very intrigued to try this recipe out. thanks for sharing!
I would love to make this vegan whipped cream…but also really need one of these for Green Monsters!
oh, and thanks for the opportunity to win a Magic Bullet. I have been curious about it ever since reading your posts.
I’ll be making your chocolate chip cookie dough babies in the Magic Bullet…my favorite! I linked to your contest on both of my blogs:

Happy Thanksgiving week!
If I had a Magic Bullet, I would make smoothies in it!
Yum….the possibilities excite me! I think I would use a magic bullet to make (among other things) smoothies and this silken tofu chocolate pudding recipe.
A Magic Bullet would be so handy when I move to Japan next year! I would totally make pumpkin ice cream if I won. 😀
I would make everything! salad dressing, smoothies, anything at all! It would be the perfect single serving size for me!
I would make single serving of frozen banana ice cream just for myself 🙂
