Re: Making My First Pie! (What am I Getting Myself Into?)

Rich Whip. Look for it in kosher grocery stores. It comes frozen in little individual serving milk carton looking cartons. Blue and red packaging, white lettering I believe. Strawberry on the front.
It's no health food, but it IS vegan(by accident by way of being parve) and it IS whipping cream to a tee. You beat it for several minutes and it is fluffy and airy and it is...whipped cream! It's amazing and will hold its shape in recipes (banana creme pies, mousses, strawberry shortcake) and will retain it's shape/volume in the refrigerator once whipped for over a week. NUMMMMMMMMYYYYYYY. It makes Hip Whip taste like a hairy asparagus crack by comparison.
Smackin Good also makes a vegan whipped cream in a tub (just like Cool Whip) and a vegan nitrous can style whipped cream.
The most like fresh whipped cream though is one very much like Rich Whip that is packaged in a similar (but larger) carton with a yellow front and orange lettering. The brand is Geffen. It's less sweet than the Rich Whip. Both are very good, I just like this one slightly better since it isn't as sweet. You can always add additional sweetener before whipping
