I couldn’t believe how perfectly this recipe worked! Super excited not to have to run out to the store to make the poundcake we’re making for this evening. Five stars here!

I've used this recipe twice now and it works like a dream! My first time I used extra creamy Oatmilk and added a 1/2 tsp of Xanthan Gum to thicken it up a bit more. I was skeptical at first because it was fairly liquid when taken out of the blender, but I chilled it and overnight it became this beautiful voluminous heavy cream! I made another batch tonight with soymilk, and it worked out amazingly, I added another 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to help stabilize the mixture. And I used 1/2 dairy free melted butter, and 1/2 canola oil.

Like others I was skeptical, but like others I found that it totally works! Thanks!

I was skeptical but it worked perfect. I used it to make a chocolate ganache that called for heavy cream. It worked great.
