    Elmlea plant based double cream

    We’ve been drinking heavy cream/double cream/whipping cream in our coffee for years but started trying out some plant based alternatives to a lot of our foods a few years ago. The only one we kept going with was this cream. Exact same cost as the dairy version, and tasted exactly the same.

    I wish I could speak towards other brands, this was the only one we tried and stuck with it. I think it might be UK only though…

        We used it for things like cheese sauce. Never tried actually whipping it, but for savory meals it did the trick just right

        I used to work in the catering industry and have seen almost every chef use it interchangeably with cream when they needed plant based options. It works great

          When I’m at home I can only drink coffee with the Silk, tastes so much better than cream

            It’s amazing. When I can’t find the Silk stuff, I get extra creamy oat milk. But a specific store brand. It’s the only other plant milk that has the same texture and creaminess.

      Its not the same… nutritionally.

      Lots of good micronutrients in cream

        People who strongly oppose plant based meat alternatives use the same argument. As if that’s the only food people ever eat in a single meal, single day, or even a single week.

          Speak for yourself. I entirely subsist off of double plant based cream and nothing else.
