So Delicious Coco Whip!

I've been anticipating Vegan whipped cream in a tub for as long as I've been Vegan. I grew up in a household where Cool Whip was always around. Half the time there was no actual dessert to put the Cool Whip on, so you would just sneak a scoop or two. Thankfully, Vegan dessert powerhouse So Delicious has created their own version of the modern classic. It's called Coco Whip! I realize there have been other Vegan whipped creams on the market, but the fact that Coco Whip comes in a tub is a sentimental plus. It also doesn't hurt that the packaging is super cute and reusable. So Delicious has been kind enough to send some samples for me to review!

As you can see from the picture, it's fluffy and decadent, just as whipped cream should be. There's a normal Coco Whip and a Light Coco Whip. The Light has 50% less fat and is just as amazing. It's less dense then the regular, which can be a plus depending on what you are putting it on.

But do they taste good? Heck yes it does! Sweet and coconutty goodness. The only caveat is since Coco Whip is made from coconuts, I guess you have to like coconuts. I know there's some coconut fatigue out there, so if coconut isn't your thing, I guess you'll have to stick with Soyatoo for now. Hopefully So Delicious considers an alternative main ingredient in the future. And all you carrageenan haters will be happy to know both Coco Whips are carrageenan-free.

So the hardest part of this blog post was what I would test the Coco Whip on. I thought about hot cocoa, but that didn't seem very photogenic. As some of you know, Isa Chandra Moskowitz just opened up a Vegan restaurant here in Omaha, Nebraska called Modern Love and they have amazing pie and cheesecakes. So I thought, "Why not test the Coco Whip on one of the Modern Love desserts?" Enter the Modern Love Blueberry Cheesecake! Normally it comes with homemade whipped cream, but for this one and only time, it has been Coco Whipped.

It tasted amazing! I used the regular Coco Whip and the texture was spot on. The perfect enhancer to any dessert. I also tested the Coco Whip by the spoonful, which I can also recommend. Unless you have an aversion to coconuts, this is the whip you've been waiting for!
 

Soyatoo Extra Creamy Whip

The great thing about being Vegan is that almost anything can be replicated animal-free. I feel like you should be able to have all of the decadent goodies that non-Vegans have. One such instance is the Soyatoo Extra Creamy Whip. Some of you have probably seen me complain about Soyatoo cans before. In the past I've had trouble getting the normal Soy Whip out of the can (as I'm sure you have, too). So  I gave up on the can and started buying it in the box. Well a month or so ago, I noticed this Extra Creamy can and decided to try again. Shockingly, it worked and actually tasted better than the old stuff.  

As you can see, my strawberries got creamed. Honestly, most of the whip went directly in my mouth as it should. It's thick, creamy and fluffy goodness. So, if you see the Extra Creamy Whip in the stores, give it a chance. And if you want to be non-lazy, you can follow the 7 step process to ensure your whip works correctly. I didn't, of course.
