What is a good non-dairy substitute for heavy whipping cream?!


Question: What is a good non-dairy substitute for heavy whipping cream?
I'm going to use it in a recipe that does not need the cream to be whipped. The cream just needs to be chilled and mixed in with things. Would canned coconut milk work?

Cashew cream, like almond milk but richer.


1 cup raw cashews
2 cups filtered white grape, pear or apple juice
2 Tbsp sunflower seed oil, or melted coconut oil
1/4 cup powdered sugar or to taste
1 tsp vanilla or to taste

Bring the cashews and juice to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the cashews soften (5 -10 minutes) Cover, and leave to cool for a couple of hours, or overnight in the fridge. Drain the cashews, reserving the liquid. Blend the cashews with the oil and vanilla, adding a small amount of the reserved juice as needed to help things along. Use as little liquid as possible - the cream should be thick. Add the sugar gradually, testing until it has the right amount sweetness for you. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the cream from the blender to a covered storage container, and refridgerate until needed.

Coconut milk would work great (when you chill it the cream goes too the top and you can scoop that out and thin it out with the coconut water if need be or you can also whip it without adding liquid). Though my favorite is mimicream I don't think it is very whippable like coconut milk but it tastes really good and has a similar thickness to heavy cream. Plus I am finding it even at some regular grocery stores now.

Coconut milk works well, Keep it in the fridge over night and use the solid fat in the morning. That sounds kind of gross, but it works really well and is completely delicious.



Yes. The coconut milk would work. So would soy milk, almond milk, rice milk or hemp milk.



What sort of recipe? Coconut milk will be very rich, thick and sweet. Unless this will be an asset to the dish, I would use something like plain Silk Creamer.



Yes I think canned cocoanut milk would work, but so would blended silken tofu. Goodluck
