Country Crock recently unveiled Plant Cream, a vegan heavy whipping cream designed to work interchangeably with dairy in cooking and baking applications. This revolutionary new ingredient can be used for anything from reheating pasta, elevating soups, adding rich texture to stir-fries or curries, creating delicious frostings, or topping berries!
Original Spread
Country Crock Plant Cream is a dairy-free heavy whipping cream alternative and an invaluable kitchen addition. Use it to transform all your cooking and baking recipes to a plant-based level – use it to make delicious flaky biscuits, creamy soups, pasta dishes, and decadent desserts – it even works great as a dairy-free cream replacement in coffee! Unfortunately, it doesn’t form stiff peaks, and its cap/spout can be challenging to open.
Plant Cream contains 29% less saturated fat per tablespoon serving than dairy heavy whipping cream and is free from milk, its derivatives, soy, and gluten. Eating plant-based food products is an effective way to increase healthy nutrients while simultaneously decreasing saturated and trans-fat consumption. Made with palm fruit, canola, and olive oil – certified vegan by the Plant-Based Food Association! Country Crock Plant Cream can be found across the U.S. at stores such as Kroger and Walmart.
Plant Butter
Plant butter is an alternative dairy-free substitute to heavy whipping cream that works perfectly in baking and as a dessert topping. Furthermore, plant butter provides an ideal foundation for sauces and soups while being perfect for making flaky vegan biscuits.
Country Crock Plant Cream is made of plant-based oils (palm fruit, canola, and avocado oil) blended with water for an alternative to dairy-heavy whipping cream that offers 29% less saturated fat per tablespoon serving.
Use as an equal 1:1 replacement for dairy-heavy whipping cream in recipes. Whip into fluffy peaks for desserts or use in hot beverages as a non-dairy replacement for milk.
Add it to this simple vegan fettuccine alfredo recipe for a quick and delicious dinner that the entire family will love! Use it as the basis of sauces and soups, or make delicious biscuits from it!
Vegan Whipping Cream
Country Crock, best known for their margarine spreads that often contain no dairy ingredients, recently unveiled “Plant Cream,” a plant-based cream for cooking and whipping made with plant milk mixed with canola/palm oil blends as well as additional ingredients like sugar, guar gum, sunflower lecithin, and salt – in ready-to-pour carton form and suitable as an alternative to heavy dairy creams.
The cream is available in original and unsalted varieties and contains no artificial colors or flavors, 29% less saturated fat per tablespoon than dairy heavy cream, no added sugar, and is free from GMOs or trans-fats. The cream can be used in soups, sandwiches, and baking recipes like banana bread and brownies, while it can even be whipped into fluffy dessert toppings!
For those searching for more savory dishes, the cream can be used to craft delicious vegan Zuppa Toscana Soup or Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo dishes. Furthermore, its versatility means it can also make delicious grilled sandwiches and add rich and creamy elements to stir-fries and curries; plus, the brand provides a recipe for Creamy Vegan Zucchini Pasta with Sweet Corn!
Although North America offers numerous dairy-free alternatives for milk, butter, and cream consumption, few offer solutions explicitly designed as heavy whipping cream or baking ingredients. Silk and Country Crock now provide such options; Silk features lentil-based technology, while Country Crock’s solution features soy.
The new cream is being promoted with the tagline, “We Defied Dairy,” to emphasize its ability to replace heavy whipping cream without any loss in flavor or texture. Kroger and Walmart stores across the US carry it, with an online store locator available here.
Ingredients
Country Crock Plant Cream is made with all plant-based ingredients that can cook, bake, and whip like dairy heavy cream – elevating your favorite dishes from good to great without dairy! Perfect for flaky biscuits, hearty soups, and creamy pasta dishes, each one-tablespoon serving provides 29% less saturated fat than its dairy equivalent!
Country Crock, owned by Upfield, has long been known for their margarine spreads, which are often vegan-friendly without being labeled or advertised. In 2019, however, they introduced their first plant-based products, including olive-based Plant Butter Tubs in Olive and Almond Oil as well as Plant Cream, which contains lentil milk to serve as an alternative dairy-free heavy whipping cream replacement – available throughout the U.S. in carton formats at stores like Kroger and Walmart.
