This Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting is a quick, light and fluffy chantilly cream that is made with a vegan heavy cream substitute- not coconut cream!

This easy frosting recipe is perfect for cakes, cupcakes or to top any dessert with. It only requires 3 ingredients and and a few minutes to make this light and fluffy chantilly cream!

Ingredients

Vegan Heavy Whipping Cream: My top pick is Silk Heavy Whipping Cream.

Powdered Sugar: Be sure to sift it!

Vanilla Extract: For a little vanilla flavor.

Method

This Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting is made just like a Chantilly Cream.

First, pour the vegan heavy cream into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

Next, turn the speed to medium and add the sifted powdered sugar while the mixer is running.

Now, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

Finally, add the vanilla and mix to incorporate.

Now, use it however you want!

The Best Vegan Heavy Cream Substitutes

My top recommendation for a vegan heavy cream substitute is:

Silk Heavy Whipping Cream.

Country Crock Plant Cream is also good, but the Silk is just a little better in my opinion.

While this Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting is not made with coconut cream, these two picks do have coconut ingredients. They don't taste like coconut at all though!

Vegan Substitutions for Heavy Cream
These are my top picks for vegan heavy whipping creams.

Uses

This Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting Can be used to:

Frost a cake like my Strawberry Shortcake Cake

Top cupcakes for a light and fluffy finish like these Strawberry and Cream Cupcakes.

Dollop onto loaf cakes like my Raspberry Lemon Loaf

Or just dip strawberries into it!

Even build a cake like this with it!

Substitutions

Instead of vanilla extract, use any extract you like to make this recipe a little different. Almond extract would be delicious.

This is the perfect frosting for cupcakes!

Storage

This Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting recipe is best when used the same day. But it is possible to store. I have tested to make sure the recipe doesn't fall flat in the refrigerator over a couple of days.

To store, transfer to a container that has a tight fitting lid and keep in the refrigerator for up to two days.
