I was so excited to hear about this fabulous dessert topping from Mrs. S., one of the Moms who have made some of the recipes listed on Z’s Cup of Tea, that I had to try it – Thank You, Mrs. S!
If you’re looking for a great alternative to whipped cream, MimicCreme Healthy Top is the perfect substitute. My whole family loves it! It’s like a cross between whipped cream and marshmallow and it’s a cinch to whip up. Made with cashews, almonds, and coconut oil, it’s dairy-free and soy-free, but it doesn’t taste nutty or like coconut at all, and it’s not too sweet, either.
Use it as you would use whipped cream to accompany something. (It’s not suitable for freezing or cooking with, according to the instructions.) We’ve served it with fresh berries (raspberries go especially well with the Healthy Top’s flavour) and my brother has also blended it with strawberries to make a kind of milkshake that, in his words, “is like a milkshake you would find in a fast food restaurant”. It’s just as thick, too. It’s also great to use as a topping for pie.
We found it at our local Whole Foods. You can look where you can buy it in your country on MimicCreme’s website or online. You’ll also find instructions for how to whip the Healthy Top there as well.
All opinions expressed here are my own. MimicCreme did not pay or ask me to review their product and did not send it to me for free.
oh my gosh that looks awesome! i wonder what would happen if you froze it?! — semifredo??🙂
Hi Caralyn, freezing isn’t actually recommended by the company. I forgot to mention that in the post.
I have not tried this product yet, Zoe, but when we had our gfe retreat, Diane used Mimic Creme to make chocolate fondue (per Kim’s recipe, or one can use coconut milk). It was amazing! Recently, I used part Mimic Creme to make one of my ice cream recipes. It definitely made it more luscious! I will look forward to trying this product at some point. Thanks so much for the review!

That sounds wonderful, Shirley! This is the first MimicCreme product we’ve tried. I hope you get to try it as well.🙂
Thanks for telling me about this – looks like I’m going to make a trip to Whole Foods soon!
