Mock Cream
September 1st 2008 01:51
One of the biggest problems I have found in adopting a dairy free diet is cream. I was complaining to my Grandmother about this problem and she gave me this recipe, which came from her grandmother.
I had to adjust it slightly but still it works well. Doesn't taste exactly the same but is nice.
110 grams soy margarine
4 tablespoon boiling water
1 cup castor sugar (or soft dark brown sugar for a nice caramelly taste)
1/2 teaspoon of gelatine
vanilla to taste
Dissolve the gelatine in 3 tablespoons of water.
Soften the butter with 1 tablespoon of the boiling water. Add the sugar and cream. (Creaming is beating butter/margarine and sugar until the mixture is a cream colour).
Slowly add the dissolved gelatine to the creamed margarine. Keep beating until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla, or other flavouring coffee is wonderful and beat well.
Keep beating until it is light and fluffy for whipped cream.
If you need a pouring cream add another tablespoon of boiling water and stir slowly to knock some of the air out of the mixture. Sometimes you need to add up to 4 tablespoons of boiling water. Just keep slowly adding a little bit of water at a time until you reach a pouring consistency.
Hot soy or rice milk can be substituted but my family didn't like the taste.
