Whipped cream elevates desserts and sweet drinks. It enhances pancakes, brownies, thick shakes, and hot mochas. The use of whipped cream, often called “milk snow,” dates back to 16th century Europe. While modern recipes use whisks instead of branches and may not require dairy, the indulgence remains. If you’re craving a whipped cream-heavy dessert or a super indulgent chocolate shake, vegan whipped cream offers a solution that rivals traditional whipped cream without any animal products.
