If you’re thinking about trying Country Crock Plant Cream (Heavy Whipping Cream) Alternative, but don't want to spend money without knowing anything about it, read our Country Crock Plant Cream review to find out if it’s any good.
This post is not sponsored; just our honest opinions.
We first heard about Country Crock Plant Cream in VegNews as a new plant-based, non-dairy, heavy cream, substitute and we were intrigued.
We have been on the hunt for a good plant-based heavy cream and finally found this product at our local Kroger grocery store. We had so many questions. Does it go well in coffee like traditional creamer? Will it whip up like dairy-based heavy cream? Could we use it to make a non-dairy ice cream? and does it cook well in recipes like an Alfredo sauce.

FAQ’s
A creamy mouth feel with a smooth texture. A delicious and rich whipped cream. A great creamer in coffee. Note - it is unsweetened.
Yes, a 1:1 ratio in recipes.
Absolutely, it whips great. It doesn’t form firm peaks like a traditional dairy based whipped cream but it's really good for a dairy free version.
Yes, but only for a day or so. We stored it in a glass container in the refrigerator. It's best fresh and is very easy to make into whipped cream.

Review
This is a terrific vegan heavy cream. A great dairy-free replacer. Great in baking, as a plant-based cream for cooking and as a whipped cream. Only drawbacks - it doesn’t whip into really stiff peaks and the cap/spout on the top of the carton can give you a little trouble opening. Right now it’s hard to find; but hopefully that will change as it becomes more popular.
