It’s not sweet at all, but there are no bitter or sour notes either. It isn’t as thick as I imagined it would be – more like a half and half type consistency than heavy whipping cream – but definitely better than any plant milk I’ve come across, except for super fatty canned coconut milks. How does it pour? What’s the viscosity like? You will also notice a complete lack of carrageenan – which is nearly unheard of for dairy-free alternatives.īeyond just ingredient items, this vegan whipping cream is Non-GMO Project Certified, which will put a lot of minds at ease who are concerned about that sort of thing. It’s also sugar and carb-free, so the keto/low carb community will rightfully be dancing for joy when they find this product! If you don’t have to avoid cross contamination, this is an exciting product because it’s made without soy ingredients! It has historically been very difficult to find whipped cream alternatives that are soy-free – so now the soy-avoiders can rejoice! If you’re only mildly intolerant of dairy, tree nuts, or soy, you make the call but you should be ok. If you’re dairy-free by choice, you’re safe. The bottom line is that if you’re avoiding animal products, this is safe. It also contains guar gum and sunflower seed oil and lecithin – so avoid if needed. It also contains fava bean protein, which is a legume – so avoid if you’ve got a legume issue. if you are allergic to coconut, this is not safe for you as coconut is a main ingredient. If you are extra sensitive and risk anaphylaxis if you consume dairy, tree nuts, or soy – this isn’t the product for you. Super special thanks and shoutout to Raechel Carr from the Deliciously Dairy Free Facebook group for sharing the screenshot below of her email response from Silk regarding cross contamination with us! What does that mean? It means this product is made in the same building that houses those allergens – they aren’t included in the whipping cream, but they can’t give a guarantee that particles haven’t found their way into it. Unfortunately, there is a cross-contamination warning for dairy, soy, and tree nuts. Let’s get the dairy-free whipping cream party started! What’s it made of? Is it safe for my allergy or diet?Īccording to the packaging, it’s certified gluten-free, so that’s the one allergen you can be 100% sure you’re safe with here. The most important question is obviously whether it’s good in coffee or not.Īnd I’m sure you have the same questions I do, so I’ve decided to do all the testing and post the answers here because we all need answers! I have so many questions! I have so many recipes to test! Does it go well in coffee like cream? Does it actually whip up (and stay whipped)? Does it make perfect, luscious ice cream? How does it cook? Does it give a silky mouthfeel like dairy cream? Does it separate like dairy cream? Can I overwhip it? Of course it caught my attention, and of course I bought it. It was next to the dairy whipping cream, and was flanked by their new dairy-free half and half (which I didn’t purchase). I stumbled on this product at my local Walmart today while looking for my favorite oat milk creamer (which they didn’t have, and I am upset). What you’ll find here are my own personal, honest opinions, based on how I use the product and my own tastes. Wondering if the new dairy-free, vegan heavy whipping cream alternative from Silk is perfect? I asked the questions and found the answers.įirst of all, this post is NOT sponsored by Silk or any brand other than myself – Cooking on Caffeine.
