Dairy Free Whipped Cream

Rich Whip, by Rich's, is a pretty good option for dairy free whipped cream because it can be purchased at the regular grocery store, is relatively inexpensive (less expensive than the soy whipped cream in a can that is available at specialty stores) and can be frozen until you're ready to use it.

Rich Whip comes in an 8 oz carton and is often found near the other whipped topping in the frozen foods aisle. When thawed, it needs to be beaten for a few minutes until it forms stiff peaks, like whipped cream. It keeps in the refrigerator for a few days after it has been whipped up but beyond that it starts to lose its form and becomes more liquid.

With high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) among its ingredients, it isn't the healthiest of foods, however, for those who are unable to use real whipping cream and are craving a whipped topping for desserts, etc., it's a good alternative (in moderation, of course).

Please note: While this product is dairy free, it does contain soy lecithin and coconut oil (coconut is now considered a tree nut) so if you are avoiding those allergens/ingredients, this would not be a good option for you.

Here are the ingredients:
Water, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated coconut oil, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, contains less than 2% of the following: carbohydrate gum, sugar, plysorbate 60, plyglycerol esters of fatty acids, salt, sodium alginate, soy lecithin, artificial flavor, sodium citrate, natural flavor, colored with turmeric and annatto extracts.
