i've tried several recipes, but the finished product is either sweet tofu glop or strangely thick soymilk... has anyone tried adding agar-agar? if so, did you boil it first or just add it into the mix? i've tried hip whip, but thats more of a pudding than a topping. i'd appreciate any advice....

I remember in seventh grade home economics class (some 13 years ago) that we made some whipped cream type substance from whipping egg whites and sugar for a few minutes in a bowl. I wonder if it would work with egg replacer and sugar, vegan or otherwise. I think there was some other flavoring ingredient, but can't remember.

probably not much help, huh? heh

I know there is a (german) site that sells vegan whip-cream.

It's kosher (for jews) so maybe you can get it in a "kosher store" or something like that.

Hip whip is more like pudding? Dang, we just bought some, but we haven't tried it yet. I was going to put it on top of fruit in some (spelt!) phyllo dough. Think that would be too thick for that?

I did successfully make vegan whipped cream once.. (let me track down the recipe..)

Ok, from Simply Vegan:

1/4 cup soymilk

1/2 cup oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blend soymilk and 1/4 cup oil. Then slowly drizzle in remaining oil. Mix in maple syrup and vanilla.

It's a little thick. Well, it's meant for topping pumpkin pie. If you're going to put it over ice cream.. just a scoop will do. I suppose it's just another "thick soymilk" but this one is actually tasty. It's sweet and vanilla-ey, and it curbed my need for whipped cream when I was dying to have some.

thanks for the recipe charityhjo.... will have to try it this weekend (i'm totally jonesing a chocolate cream pie)

rie, the hip whip is kinda funky....not bad, just funky. it tastes really processed and has an odd texture.... the chocolate flavor is better... kind of chocolate mousse-like

hrm... chocolate flavored? They didn't have that!

i got this cream off of veganstore.com they claim that you can just whip it to make whipped cream

havent tried it yet, but i have used it in recipes that called for cream and it came out wonderful

Scarey--try making whipped cream out of it already!! You promised that you would!! I'm very curious to see how it turns out.
