Whipped Topping

[Guest guest]

Melody, thanks for this vegan whipped topping...sounds wonderful...I will give

it a try and try it on my fresh fruit salads. And so easy and without a ton of

ingredients to have to go buy.

Re: Re: Vegan Marshmallows/Whipped Topping

 

 

marshmallows: try http://www.tinytrapeze.com/productview3.cfm?categoryID=5

, although last i checked they were out of stock. i believe pangea still

carries their own brand of vegan marshmallows, too.

 

 

here are 2 vegan whipped topping recipes from bryanna clark grogan:

 

WHIPPED TOPPING:

BRYANNA’S BEST TOFU WHIPPED CRÈME makes about 1 and 3/4 c.

 

This is so simple and good! Be sure to let it refrigerate for AT LEAST four

hours before serving,so that it sets up nicely. This is like a softly-whipped

cream and doesn’t separate!

NOTE— TO STABILIZE FURTHER, dissolve 3/4 to 1 tsp. vegan kosher gelatin in 1

T. boiling water, or in the liqueur, if you are using it, heated almost to

boiling, then whip in with the other ingredients. (Don't use agar-- it doesn't

seem to work well in this.)

NOTE ON CALORIES AND FAT: Cashews give a rich flavor, have some thickening qua

lities, and save about 280 calories for the whole recipe. (1/4 c. cashews

contains about 200 calories; 1/4 c. oil contains about 480 calories.)

 

1 and 1/3 c. soft tub tofu [water-packed in plastic tub—see Note below#]

1/4 c. melted Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread (see Note

below+)

OR 1/4 c. oil OR 1/2 oil and 1/2 melted Earth Balance

OR 1/4 c. raw cashews, ground very fine in a food processor or

coffee grinder

3 T. very light granulated unbleached sugar or white beet

sugar

OR 3 T. maple syrup (this will make it a little softer)

1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. lemon juice

OPTIONAL: (if not using Earth Balance) pinch salt

OPTIONAL: 1 T. of your favorite liqueur

Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend for

several minutes, or until VERY smooth and fluffy. Scrape into a small bowl,

cover

tightly and refrigerate for AT LEAST four hours before serving. This will

keep for several days refrigerated.

#NOTE ON TOFU: The measurement for the tofu was determined by the size

(actually, 300 g) that soft water-pack tub tofu comes in in my area. DO NOT

use

silken tofu (Mori-Nu in the asceptic boxes) for this recipe (there is another

recipe using silken tofu below). Use the freshest available soft water-pack

tub

tofu (and be careful that it’s not “dessert†tofu, which has sugar

added).

 

+NOTE ON EARTH BALANCE: This is a vegan “margarine†that cantains no

hydrogenated fats, and is made from all expeller-pressed oils. It also tastes

great—

buy in health food stores.

*************************************

BRYANNA’S WHIPPED TOPPING MADE WITH SILKEN TOFU makes about 2 c.

If you can’t find soft water-pack tub tofu, try this

recipe—it

’s also very good.

NOTE— TO STABILIZE FURTHER, dissolve 1 to 1 and 1/4 tsp.

vegan kosher gelatin in 1 T. boiling water, or in the liqueur, if you are

using

it, heated almost to boiling, then whip in with the other ingredients. (Don't

use agar-- it doesn't seem to work well in this.)

1 (12.3 oz.) box extra-firm SILKEN tofu (like Mori-Nu brand, in asceptic box)

1/3 c. oil OR melted Earth Balance (see Note * below), or a

combination

1/4 c. maple syrup OR very light granulated unbleached sugar

or white beet sugar

1 T. soymilk

1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. lemon juice

OPTIONAL (if not using Earth Balance): pinch of salt

OPTIONAL: 1-2 T. of your favorite liqueur

Whip ingredients together in food processor until VERY smooth. Refrigerate

for several hours before serving.

* NOTE ON EARTH BALANCE: This is a vegan “margarine†that contains no

hydrogenated fats, and is made from all expeller-pressed oils. It also tastes

great—

buy in health food stores.
