Ingredients: A Closer Look for This Vegan Whipped Cream Recipe
Let’s talk ingredients – the stars of our Vegan Whipped Cream show! We’re keeping it simple and sweet:
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut cream, chilled overnight (I used Thai coconut cream)
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Substitutions: If coconut isn’t your thing, fret not! Almond cream makes an excellent base too. And for those watching their sugar intake, maple syrup or stevia are fantastic alternatives.
Instructions How to Make Vegan Whipped Cream
- Chill the Tools: Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before starting.
- Scoop the Cream: Open the can of coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream into your chilled bowl, leaving the liquid behind.
- Add Flavors: Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream.
- Whip It Up: Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream mixture on high speed until it becomes fluffy and light, forming soft peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the whipped cream and, if desired, add more sugar to sweeten.

Vegan Whipped Cream FAQs
- Mixer-free method? Absolutely! A good old-fashioned whisk will do; it just needs a bit more effort.
- Secret to fluffiness? Keep everything chilled and avoid over-whipping.
- Natural sweeteners? Maple syrup or stevia are great for a healthier twist.
- How long will it take to whip the vegan whipped cream to the right consistency? The whipping time for vegan whipped cream can vary depending on the power of your mixer. Generally, it takes about 3-5 minutes to achieve a light and fluffy texture with soft peaks when using an electric mixer. If you’re using a hand whisk, it might take a bit longer, so be prepared for a mini arm workout!
- How Can I add this to desserts? This whipped cream can be used as a frosting for topping desserts or adding in between layers, either by using the spooning or dolloping method and spreading about as needed. A preferred method for extra decadence is adding the whipped cream to a pastry bag with the tip preferred and decorate desserts with swirls. You can also add this to replace anywhere you would use whipped cream in any recipe.
