I haven't tried these but hope there will be something helpful for those looking for recipes.

From a Vegan Cooking Community
1. If you're making your own, try a whipped cream recipe replacing the dairy cream with coconut cream. (skim the top from cans of whole fat coconut milk) Real, high-fat, coconut cream. Not the coconut milk + carbohydrate gums stuff you'll sometimes find labeled coconut cream.

2. I had a friend who had one of those semi-expensive whipped cream maker things that they use in coffee houses. It has those little nitrous cartridges. She used it to make me soy whipped cream for my coffee one morning. I don't know what she did to make it, but maybe you can look into one of those things.

3. MAKES 2 CUPS DAIRY-FREE
Nut creams are easy to make and easily transform a simple dessert into an elegant one by layering it with pudding, as we did in Sweet Potato Parfait. Cashews or walnuts may be substituted for the pecans. PREHEAT OVEN to 350 F. Place pecans in baking dish and toast 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a food processor and grind to a paste. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy.

Measure Ingredient
2 cup Pecans
½ cup Soy milk
¼ cup Rice syrup
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract


4. Cashew Whipped Cream

Does anyone know where in Olympia to buy one of the whipped cream makers mentioned above and what the price range might be?
