Ingredients

individual ingredients for homemade organic vegan whipped cream laid out against a white background.
  • Coconut Cream: I use the Let’s Do Organic Coconut Cream. This is the brand and can of organic coconut cream that I have had success with every time! So, I highly recommend getting this brand.
  • Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar for a sweetener, but honestly you don’t really need it if you want to cut back on sugar. You could also use maple syrup or honey too.
  • Vanilla Extract: I use Simply Organic Vanilla Extract.

  • You can replace the cane sugar with maple syrup or honey if you prefer.

Recipe FAQ's

Is homemade organic vegan whipped cream safe for dogs?

Yes, and no. If you are making my Dog Friendly Whipped Cream recipe, then it is safe for dogs as it has no sugar or flavors. This one is made with just coconut cream and raw honey. But, this recipe has sugar and vanilla extract so do not give it to your dogs.

How do you store vegan whipped cream?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
