Whipped Cream’s healthy makeover

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on November 18, 2010

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.

Cream for breakfast?

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.

Nutritional Info:
(for the entire bowl!)
Calories: 60
Fat: 3g
Protein: 2g
Carbohydrates: 3g

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 excited for Thanksgiving!! I get to see a lot of family I only get to see a few times a year. It’s going to be a huge family gathering and we always have a blast and oh, yeah, there’s all the FOOD! I am a little nervous about my self-control but I know it will be a fun day!

I don’t use whipped cream very often…usually the only time of year is on Thanksgiving day! I made some a couple of weeks ago using coconut milk, agave, and vanilla on HEAB’s pumpkin bars…it was ahhhhmazing :)

Valerie November 18, 2010 at 3:29 pm

I love whipped cream! And yes, I’m a vegan. And no, that doesn’t stop me from eating whipped cream in abundance. Of course, now it’s just in the form of soyatoo and mimicream and your tofu vegan cream, which my whole family ADORES! The kiddies eat it over berries all the time, and I beam at knowing they’re enjoying a healthy snack :) .

I’m fairly new to your blog, and I just wanted to tell you that even though I’m not a vegan, I love reading your posts!

I also can’t believe that there is just one week until Thanksgiving. My father makes the meal, but I take care of dessert – I’d better start planning!

Aww thanks for the sweet comment! Haha I have to start planning too :-? . I have dessert taken care of, but I have no idea about the rest.

I’m not a vegan, and I’m not allergic to soy per se, but I really try to limit it because I blieve everything in moderation. So I am jotting this recipe down to put on top of my pumpkin pie this year. Thank you SO MUCH!!!! :) :)

I know it practically makes me a communist, but I am just not a huge fan of whipped cream. I liked Cool Whip when I was a kid, but I just prefer things without any of that these days. *ducks from thrown tomatoes!*

Reply

abby November 18, 2010 at 3:45 pm

oh well, they’d be throwing tomatoes at me too, because i was the BIGGEST cool whip fan when i was a little kid. my sisters hated it, but i could and did eat gobs of the stuff, like ice cream!

I’m very excited for Thanksgiving. My parents are flying in, and it is going to be a HUGE party. We’re all going to have so much fun… that is, until we all get sick of each other! LOL

The cream looks terrific. I’m a sucker for cream on top of pie. I think it makes the pie.

Amy November 18, 2010 at 3:46 pm

I am so excited. I just found your site through http://thedailydietribe.com. I am eliminating dairy from my diet since I don’t like how it makes me feel and a blood test I had resulted in an “allergy”. I love whipped cream and was wondering if I would ever be able to have it again and now I can try this!

You’re so brilliant! I’ll have to try this cream. I looooved whipped cream, especially in trifle, but I also ate it plain… We had Canadian Thanksgiving in October. It’s a nice family holiday and the food is always yummy too, once you get past the dead bird part. My parents are nice enough to skip the turkey on my behalf, so we had pumpkin chili, pumpkin pie, roasted veggies, and store-bought vegan whipped topping. Yum. I also like Christmas food – can you ssay Figgy Pudding?!?

Hmm… I wonder how crumbled fudge babies and this whipped cream would taste? Pretty good, I’m sure. And I made a new ice cream recipe I thought you’d like: 1 frozen banana and 5 frozen strawberries, blend it up with a little soy milk, juice, or water and ta-da! Yummy ice cream!

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie November 18, 2010 at 8:05 pm

Woah, your parents are seriously awesome! My mom eschewed eating the turkey one year, but she still served it :( .
On a happier note, your ice cream sounds yumlicious, as does a fudge baby-whipped cream bowl!!

Reply

courtney November 18, 2010 at 4:18 pm

What do you mean “used to eat whipped cream by the bowlful?” Istill do that! Whipped cream is my favorite thing ever–I love the real stuff that is freshly whipped and doesn’t really have sweetener added. I will have to try the vegan version; thanks for the recipe Katie!

foodiefresh November 18, 2010 at 4:51 pm

Instead of agar base, do you think you could make a base with non-dairy milk and xantham gum?

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie November 18, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Honestly, I have no idea, because I’ve never tried it. But if you try it, will you let me know how it works?? I’d love to know! :)

I can’t wait for Thanksgiving! It’s my favorite holiday. I like whipped cream on pumpkin pie! Hehe.

Bianca- Vegan Crunk November 18, 2010 at 5:34 pm

Agar is the final frontier for me. I’ve never had luck with it, and I really need to get in the kitchen and master it. I hate not being able to do something! I puffy-heart Soy Whip, the kind in the box…not the can.

I’m sooooooo excited about Thanksgiving. Its one of my fave holidays. My mom makes everything vegan for me, so I can stuff myself crazy like everyone else.

bloomingbuzz November 18, 2010 at 6:15 pm

I just had whipped cream on top of a brownie with ice cream for dessert last night :D it was sooo good…definitely one of my favorite ways to enjoy it!

and on that note, I will be enjoying my fair share of the stuff this time next week and I could not be more excited to celebrate!

I love whipped cream!! :) I used soyatoo for last Thanksgiving and this Thanksgiving, I’m not entirely sure what I’m making for dessert! Menu time…? :D I am super ecstatic about Thanksgiving. My family (i.e. everyone apart from my mommy and daddy) don’t understand why I’m vegan, so I’m going to be in for a question and answer session, but I’m bringing lots of vegan food to share! :D I just won’t claim it as such and see what gets eaten!
Yay family though!!
I really wanna try your cream recipe. :)
Deeeelish!

I can’t say I’ve ever eaten a lot of whipped cream (and in my house that only meant the stuff from a can or a tub, we were not the kind of people who made whipped cream from scratch). But I did get a can of Soyatoo last year and we had it with berries. Now that is a divine combo.

Oh and no, I’m not really excited for Thanksgiving. I’m not going to visit my family so I probably won’t do anything at all.

Caitlin November 18, 2010 at 8:17 pm

I love Thanksgiving! This is the first year I will not be home for it, but luckily two of my best friends will be here with me.

Whipped cream is one of my favorite foods (err….treats?)! I love the aerosol kind and the freshly whipped kind. I often eat ice cream and pie ONLY as an excuse to eat way too much whipped cream.

Reply

theflourishingfoodie November 18, 2010 at 9:57 pm

This sounds so good! I just need to get my hands on some agar base.
I”m really not a big fan of pumpkin or apple pie, so usually on thanksgiving I just have a tiny slice of pecan pie and a huge plate ful of whipped cream. Now that I”m trying to limit my dairy consumption I really need to try this!

Reply

jodye @ 'scend food November 18, 2010 at 10:19 pm

you’re not alone, I was always a straight up whipped cream girl. I was also a big fan of clotted cream which I got from my british dad. He ate it with scones.. I skipped the scones and went for the cream by itself.

I was never a fan of store bought whipped cream but now that it’s been forever, I kind of miss it!

This looks AMAZING!!!

I loved Cool Whip as a kid. And Scott may have a minor cool whip addiciton :) Mostly broke him of it, but he loves the stuff..eats it frozen like ice cream.

I have tried Tru Whip which is coolwhip’s healthier cousin, and it’s good but harder to find and much pricier. And it’s not truly vegan. It’s dairy free but not vegan b/c of trace dairy i think. A reader told me that…anyhoo…

I have also made tons of cashew cream in my time, but it doesnt have the light totally fluffy texture that your latest recipe has…Job well done, Katie!!!!!!

Camille November 18, 2010 at 11:41 pm

Yum! Where do I buy agar, though??????
Must make this soon!!!! As in whenever possible. I might even resort to buying tofu and trying out that version. Throw in some chocolate chips and maybe a drizzle of honey……..and eat it for breakfast. Because tofu is healthy, and chocolate has antioxidants, so this is practically health food!

You are a very, very nice person! I haven’t eaten ice cream or anything yummy creamy for the last 2 years due to health issues (get real sick with anything too high fat). I can totally have this!!! Let me rephrase—I AM going to totally have this today!
My 6 yr old and I made your agar pudding last week and it was awesome–she loved it as much as I did. So this is the next logical step…

Thanks for sharing your great ideas! I would be lost without so many great food blogs to follow!

Hi Katie,

I found you through Julia over at Islaborg. If I can find agar then I’ll definitely try it. Question: do you think this could be used as a meringue if some arrowroot was added?

my favorite thanksgiving dish is cranberry sauce. i just made my own for the first time… not great, but not too shabby. could use some vegan cream on top. as for the magic bullet giveaway, i keep frozen berries in my freezer to make breakfast smoothies, but there are so many little parts to my food processor, it’s a little bit of a pain to clean. plus, the texture changes when i store it in the fridge or freezer. it would also be pretty helpful for mincing garlic – i use garlic in almost everything i make!

Ahhh magic bullet! I would make green monsters (a la ohsheglows) and blended oatmeal (a la CC Katie. It’s my favorite now). If I won, I won’t have chunks of spinach/kale in my smoothies anymore, yippeee!

With my Magic Bullet, I would be making loads and loads of personal-sized vegan Greek yogurt cuppies (I’ve been hooked on the stuff!) and of course, my homemade Katebars!

I would also be making plenty of banana soft serve and frozen-fruit-froyo. I would definitely have to try out this whipped cream recipe..wouldn’t be right if I didn’t! :)

Plus, a Magic Bullet would be so handy in college next year..who wants to bring a clunky blender to college? ;)

This sounds like a great giveaway. And great isn’t even the right word but my vocabulary doesn’t provide a better one :D . It’s so nice (and selfless) of you to offer something like that to your readers.

With a Magic Bullet I would probably make a lot of smoothies because I’ve always wanted to try them seeing them on other people’s blogs and more desserts with dried fruit and nuts for which the blender at home isn’t powerful enough and I have to mash them by hand. Cooking and fitness in one :) .

I think it would have to be all about butternut puree/mousse, pureed mixed berries (if you blend them when they’re part-thawed it’s like an amazing sorbet – but my hand blender does NOT like it so I have to drag out my prehistoric “food processor” handed on from my mum :-( )
Plus, nut butter, the agar pudding, bean burgers… I could write an essay but I think I’d drool too much!

I would make smoothies, but really, vegan cream sounds pretty good to me too. I have never tried a vegan version of whipped cream (or real whipped cream, for that matter) but I remember when I was little and I would eat little bites of dessert, I usually liked fluffier and airier types of dessert rather than the dense stuff. So I would probably love vegan cream!
