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....<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/huh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

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.<br><br><br><br>
probably not much help, huh? heh <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br>

I know there is a (german) site that sells vegan whip-cream.<br><br><br><br>
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..)<br><br><br><br>
Ok, from Simply Vegan:<br><br>
1/4 cup soymilk<br><br>
1/2 cup oil<br><br>
1 tablespoon maple syrup<br><br>
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br><br><br><br>
Blend soymilk and 1/4 cup oil. Then slowly drizzle in remaining oil. Mix in maple syrup and vanilla.<br><br><br><br>
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)<br><br>
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! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

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