First off, I LOVE Mimiccreme. So, I might be a little biased. It is a great cream substitute for coffee and making frozen things. Several months ago I e-mailed the company with a question, and they personally called me and when I asked them about possibly having a whipped cream substitute, they told me they were working on it, but it wasn't ready yet. Well, it is now! So, when I saw in the grocery store that they made a whipped cream substitute, I HAD to try it.
This has Coconut oil, Almonds, Cashews, and Almond oil according to the website, among a few other ingredients. It is soy and dairy free, no casein(a milk protein) in sight which is GREAT cause even the "non-dairy" whipping creams have caseinate or casein in it.
Well, on to the review: The instructions say to let it sit in the fridge for a little while before whipping, as well as the typical whipped cream instructions of chilling the bowl and beaters. Which I did. It is not a resealable container so you will need to either find a storage container for any you did not use OR put your whipped cream in a container to keep for later. If you do choose to whip the entire container, use a LARGE bowl. I used one that was just adequate and I'm going to have to clean the floor, walls, and cabinet doors because of the mess it created. It doubled in size after a few minutes of whipping. Please note this is presweetened. This would make an excellent frosting for a cake, but it's not too sweet. If you would prefer to make this a little less sweet, you might be able to add some more coconut oil, though I'm not sure what that would do to it. It's delicious! The flavor is very good- it taste like almond flavored whipped cream.
I'm going to give this a 5 out of 5 stars because it is a perfect replacement for whipped cream. Sweet but not too sweet and not fake sweet. It's creamy but not oily. It whips up and stays whipped for quite some time. Below are some photos of the whipped cream afterwards and a link to the official website.
Hope you have a great day and enjoy your own food adventures!
Where can I get Mimiccreme Healthy Top whipped cream substitute? The Mimiccreme site says it's temporarily out of stock. Whole Foods isn't carrying it any more. Darn! I LOVE that stuff! It's yummy on a NO-Cream pie!
