REVIEW:

This MimicCreme Healthy Top Whipped Cream blew me away!  It’s one of those things that doesn’t try to masquerade as what it attempts to replace, but boldly steps forward and does something different.  This is not really whipped cream, but it can stand firmly in the place of whipped cream and offer a truly wonderful and delicious alternative.  It has a nutty flavor with strong overtones of vanilla.  The consistency once whipped, is a little heavier than stiff whipping cream.  I found this to be an added bonus actually.  I used the MimicCreme Healthy Top as a frosting to banana chocolate cupcakes, as a dip for strawberries and chocolate as well as putting it atop my morning coffee, and I found that it held up remarkably well in all situations.  It is very versatile and has a flavor that can accompany other things really well.  It also mixes well with spices, like cinnamon and add-ins like honey.  I think this product could be used in a variety of different ways and as a really fabulous non-dairy alternative in a number of recipes.

One of the things that really excited me about this is that it’s also soy free.  I can’t really do dairy or soy, which definitely limits my choices.  The things that can be made out of nuts these days never ceases to amaze me.  This product is predominantly made from almonds and cashews with some coconut oil thrown in.  All of these things have wonderful health benefits too.  One tablespoon of Healthy Top is 50 calories so it’s not that bad for you overall, which is good, because I’ve been liberally sampling it since I made my batch to try.  The company’s website is very informative and outlines their vision for their company.  It certainly seems that one priority for them is taste and I can vouch that there is something distinctly unique in how this whipped topping blends and compliments a variety of flavors.  I can honestly say this is the best non-dairy, non-soy, gluten-free whipped product I’ve ever had.  It’s a lot of fun and I feel like there’s a lot you can do with it.
