Vegetable Oil – To replace the fat found in dairy cream, various vegetable oils are used in plant-based alternatives.Here are some of the most common ingredients that appear in vegan-friendly cream products. Vegan cream has various ingredients that differ between the types of cream and brands. ![]() Clotted Cream – Traditionally served with scones and a cuppa for “cream tea” and particularly popular – at least with tourists – in the counties of Cornwall and Devon, clotted cream is very thick and very high in fat.It is less sweet than the creams mentioned above and its slight sourness lends itself particularly well to certain savoury dishes. Crème Fraîche – This is a specific type of dairy cream that has been soured with the aid of a bacterial culture.Made by combining butter or margarine with icing sugar, it’s easy to make your own vegan version, as we’ll detail later. Buttercream – Buttercream is not really cream in the conventional sense and is more a type of icing.Also known as spray cream or “squirty cream”, the gas is released through the cream as it is released from the nozzle, thus creating the light and fluffy consistency. Alternatively, and more commonly, it is the instant whipped cream that comes in a pressurised can. Whipped Cream – Whipped cream could simply be whipping cream that has already been whipped.Double cream can also be whipped but is fattier than whipping cream and easier to over-whip. Whipping Cream – Whipping cream is – as the name suggest – cream that lends itself to being whipped into a light and fluffy dollop that can be placed atop a dessert or on a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.It cannot be whipped and does not boil well. Single Cream – Single cream is similar to double cream but thinner and with a lower fat content.It can also be used in cooking (both sweet and savoury dishes) and is the cream with the highest fat content. Double Cream – Double cream is what many people visualise when they think of cream that is poured over fruit or desserts.Jump To: Double Cream | Single Cream | Whipping Cream | Whipped Cream | Buttercream | Crème Fraîche | Clotted Cream | Homemade Types of Creamīefore we list our favourite vegan cream options, let’s briefly run through the main types of cream and what they tend to be used for. More good news is that, just as with the best vegan ice cream, vegan cream tastes just as nice as dairy cream… and it tends to be a fair bit healthier too! As we shall show in this article, there are loads of great vegan-friendly alternatives to dairy cream. But all is not lost for those following a plant-based diet. Given that conventional cream is made from milk (usually from cows) it should come as no surprise that it is not vegan.
