Dairy free double cream
Hello
I cant have dairy products & need a vegetarian double cream
i have heard of 1 called Soja-Saane which i believe whips up quite thick but not sure where to buy it?
Most dairy free creams i find are just single & they don`t whip at all no matter how hard you try ![]()
can anyone suggest a name of a dairy free double cream on the market
I`m lactose intolerant you name it i`m it
cant have gluten, wheat either.
Thanks all for any help
ps i live in London UK

Jamies, can you tolerate yew's milk/cream? You can whip that up into something acceptable. I bought some once and made it thick for a dairy-free friend and it worked well.

Definitely not me duplicating the posts. Took too much care on the last one and hey presto - you get it twice. Sorry.
This is by way of a test so apologies in advance.

I'm only getting one of your posts, Thistledo. Or, have you been deleting the duplicates since you discovered the problem?

Re: Dairy free double cream
Soja-saane is about the only one I know of that's vegetarian and "double" in consistency - but it really doesn't taste very nice at all. I have in the past used Lacto-Free's cream, which will whip if you thicken it with gelatine, but that's then not vegetarian - although you could try agar-agar?
Alternatively, if you have 3 days to spare (and you're lactose intolerant not casein intolerant!) you could put 4 tbspns buttermilk and 1 litre double cream into a yoghurt maker, ferment for 36 hours, chill for 12 hours, then use as a whipped fermented cream (the fermentation digests the lactose, you see), and turn anything left over into a fermented butter in a food processor.

Maree, no I didn't delete. Wanted to see what happened. However, I think it's righted itself now.
It wasn't me, honest Guv!
