"Many vegan whipped toppings are expensive or have nuts in them-- a no-no at our house. I found the soymilk powder and vanilla sugar at Whole Foods."

  1. It is very important to not include any coconut water (not even a drop) in this recipe or the whipped cream won't turn out at all. Also, don't go for the lite coconut milk as it won't turn out and honestly it you're going to make vegan dessert, you might as well make it worth it. I generally don't use the soy milk powder (I don't buy it because it's not something I would use very often) and increase the powdered sugar to 2/3 cup. Don't ignore cooling the beaters and bowl, though I've always had success putting them in the freezer for 30 minutes before making the whipped cream. This whipped cream is fluffier than most vegan whipped cream recipes and definitely not runny if you make it right:) Try it with a vanilla bean (split, seeds scraped) as opposed to the vanilla sugar...divine! As others suggested, this is much better if made the day or night before and allowed to set in the fridge to firm.
     
  2. I'm sorry... I'd have to give this a very low rating, so I won't use stars. I followed the recipe exactly, but it didn't turn out whatsoever as past reviews indicated. It never got thick and fluffy; I had to at least triple the sugar to give it any sweetness at all, and the soymilk powder gave it a bizarre flavor. This turned out good as a coffee creamer, actually!- but not as whipped cream. I wish I knew what went wrong.
     
  3. This was good but I couldn't find soy milk powder so I had to leave it out. I'm sure that my consistency was off with it as a result. The flavor was great though. I was confused as to how much cream I should have expected to get off the top of the coconut milk. Also I'd recommend beating the mixture over an ice bath.
     
  4. I am so glad I found this. Really simple and really good. Due to personal preferences, I only added 2 tbsp. powdered sugar. I can't wait to put it on my vegan pumpkin pie!
     
  5. This was EXCELLENT!!! What an awesome alternative to traditional whipped cream! I made it a day ahead of time and the topping was slightly runny, but the next day (in the fridge over night, of course) it had the consistency of "Cool Whip". The only thing I changed was 1 tsp. vanilla extract instead of the vanilla sugar since I didn't have any on hand. It still turned out great! Thanks so much for posting!

We have various food allergies in our family so most of my recipes are dairy-free and egg-free. We have the added challenge of living at 8600 feet in elevation. I guess this makes me a high altitude vegan baker!
