Raw Whipped Cream

July 20, 2012 by Cara

What happens when you combine super hot weather with a place that is null and void of air conditioning? You get one sweaty beast, that’s what. And by beast, I mean me. I’m melting, friends. I need something to cool me down and I think raw whipped cream is in order stat!

RELATED: Vegan Caramel Sauce

It’s the kind of hot where, while sitting on a chair, you are nervously afraid to stand up in fear of seeing the sweat stains you leave behind. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. When you can feel those sweat beads drip down your kneepits and you wonder how in the world does your stomach collect so much water. Ugh, this heat makes me crabby.

RELATED: Raw Chocolate Sauce

Raw Whipped Cream made with macadamia nuts and agave. So creamy, you'll never guess it's not made with dairy!

RELATED: Raw Nut Milks

Thank goodness for eating your way out of a bad mood though. And believe me, this macadamia nut raw whipped cream is just the thing to cool you down and perk you right back up. Chop up some fruit, drizzle it with coconut, and chopped almonds and dip your heart away with this dairy free RAW whipped cream. You will forget that your armpits are wet like a swamp.

    Will this last in the fridge?

    • Cara

      November 21, 2012 at 9:26 am

      Yes!! I can only say it will last up to 3-5 days (not sure if I ever allowed it to sit in my fridge longer than that because I usually devour it upon making…) ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yum. Ok – the worst is the sweat that runs down between your breasts and tickles, but you can’t wipe it away because, well, then you’d either be sticking your hand down your shirt or creating a big wet streak on your shirt right between your boobs. Hate that. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Cara

      August 29, 2012 at 8:24 am

      Ohmygosh, this made me laugh so hard Deanna!!!! You are too funny…wishing you a boob sweat-free day ๐Ÿ™‚

    Haha – anything to help me forget how damp my underarms are!! I’ve seen a lot of vegan whipped cream made from coconut, but never from macadamia nuts… it looks perfect! So light and smooth. Will definitely have to give this a try. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Cara

      July 27, 2012 at 6:28 am

      Yeah, I am not a big fan of the coconut whip cream so this is perfect for me ๐Ÿ™‚

    This looks so deliciously light and refreshing! I didn’t think there was anything that could make summer berries better, but clearly I’ve been proven wrong!

    • Cara

      July 22, 2012 at 8:07 am

      I think ice cream could also improve summer berries, right? And chocolate. And more macadamia whip cream ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Cadry's Kitchen

        July 22, 2012 at 9:11 am

        Those are all excellent points. This is going to take some ice cream/whipped cream/chocolate trial and error to really know for sure.

        • Cara

          July 22, 2012 at 6:47 pm

          Okay, I will have to experiment, take extensive data, and come up with a hypothesis. I will let you know ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Ashlae | Oh, ladycakes

    Look at you, you little raw foodie! I’ve got a bag of cashew whip in my fridge, and I’ve been putting it on E V E R Y T H I N G. Also, your package is packaged up. But now I have to motivate myself to walk a mile in the heat to the post office. OYYYY! Eff the heat.

    I’m thinking this would be great on the waffles you made this week (when it cools down). ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Kari @ bite-sized thoughts

    July 20, 2012 at 7:37 pm

    My mind has kicked into overdrive thinking about what I could put this on, or with. Which is silly, because I know deep down I would probably just eat it straight up, off a spoon ๐Ÿ™‚ Gorgeous!

    • Cara

      July 22, 2012 at 8:01 am

      I say gather up all of the foods that it could pair well with and just take a spoon and dig in ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Lou (@fridgescrapings)

    July 20, 2012 at 5:31 pm

    Ew I KNOW – I’m such a sweaty beast too (I actually have hyperhydrosia which means my palms/soles of my feet literally DRIP in hot weather…. I leave some wicked puddles ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) Yip, it’s super embarrassing! Ha. At least I can laugh.

    YUM macadamia JOY JOY…. this sounds amazing, Cara, love the richness of macadamias (except when you eat them whole, they kind of “squeak” against your teeth, or am I the only one that thinks this!?)

    • Cara

      July 22, 2012 at 8:01 am

      I have hyperhydrosia in my armpits so we are twins ๐Ÿ™‚ haha

    July 20, 2012 at 4:20 pm

    its still in low 70s here :D.. well it will get hot soon and i will start cribbing. till then i am eating a load of ice creams and maybe will make this whipped cream to top my latte smoothies!

    • Cara

      July 22, 2012 at 8:02 am

      Latte smoothies??? Um YES PLEASE!! I will get on the next plane up there to enjoy the cool 70s and bring the macadamia whip cream…

  13. Baker Bettie

    July 20, 2012 at 3:28 pm

    Gorgeous! I’m so trying this soon. YUM! Sorry you don’t have air conditioning. I think I would die with these non-stop triple digits. You are super woman.

      July 22, 2012 at 8:03 am

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 2:21 pm

      You better not be sticking your freaking fingers in this behind my back!! I will cut you…

  15. Gabby @ the veggie nook

    July 20, 2012 at 11:07 am

    I never use macadamia nuts because they are so pricy but daaaaamn I want to make this so bad! Next time I have a need to make a special dessert, you can bet I am making this!

    Don’t melt Cara! I’d miss you too much ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Cara

      July 22, 2012 at 8:04 am

      I think a bag of macadamia nuts will make enough whip cream for the rest of the summer. Sounds like it’s worth the price to me ๐Ÿ™‚

      Sticking myself in the freezer so I don’t melt!

  16. Heather @ Better With Veggies

    July 20, 2012 at 10:59 am

    This looks like a great alternative to coconut milk, I’m guessing it has a much better nutritional profile!

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 2:20 pm

      I’m not a big fan of the coconut milk method so I needed something different ๐Ÿ™‚ Plus, it tastes so creamy with the macadamia nuts. So good…

    Ooh, I just came across a recipe for fresh fig ice cream. I knew you’d been showcasing your ability to buy fresh figs for a reason.

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 9:30 am

      WHAT??? Where is it? I need it Laurel! I NEED IT!!!

      • Rachel

        July 20, 2012 at 12:05 pm

        Another reason we (read: you) need an ice cream maker!

        • Cara

          July 22, 2012 at 8:04 am

          HAHA!! Thank you for the subtle translation ๐Ÿ™‚ We DO need an ice cream maker!

  18. Somer

    July 20, 2012 at 7:47 am

    Dude, swampy armpits and knee pits are definitely made better by that delicious shiz! Tell me, when you blend it for 5 minutes, does the whip warm up and then have to be refrigerated? My blender would turn a smoothie into hot soup if I blended anything for that long.

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 9:32 am

      Mine wasn’t too bad in terms of warm but you can definitely cool it off in the fridge. In fact, you could join the whip cream in there as well…that might help with the swamp pits ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Somer

        July 21, 2012 at 3:25 pm

        Great idea. I used to work in a bakery that had a huge freezer. Worshipped it in the summer time….

        • Cara

          July 22, 2012 at 8:05 am

          Is the freezer available??? Me thinks I need to sleep in it…

          • Somer

            July 23, 2012 at 6:43 pm

            It’s now a Subway restaurant, but maybe if you bring them some gluten free bread for the masses, they will let us have a sleepover in there!

      I’m sorry, I cannot hear you. Do you know how difficult it is to read comments when you are in a tub full of raw whip cream??? Oops, I just swallowed some…mmmmm!

        July 28, 2012 at 1:33 pm

    It’s been in the 90s and close to 100 basically for three weeks here in Michigan. It’s ridiculous. I’m also crabby. Maybe this whipped cream will help…feed your feelings!

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 9:37 am

      Yes but do you have air conditioning? Because if so, you are already 10 times better off than your Fork friend over here. Let’s be crabby together and feed each other fruit dipped in raw whip cream ๐Ÿ™‚

        • Cara

          Note to self: get a window unit ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. Laurel

    July 20, 2012 at 6:36 am

    I just laughed out loud not because the concept was funny but because I’ve been advising the use of the very same nut. They are expensive but they are so full of useful fat. In fact, I have some soaking right now to see what kind of raw lemon curd they might make.
    Anyhow, here’s how you deal with the heat (as I found my first record breaking summer in TX). A. Cold Shower B. Stand in front of fan, naked. C. Cold Shower. Repeat as necessary.
    I also appreciated your delicacy in not mentioning the other place, a bit higher than your stomach that seems to accumulate all that sweat. Now go put a window A/C on lay-away or something

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 9:42 am

      Lemon curd? Get the hell out, Laurel! Again, when are you moving here and becoming my boss??? Damn that time machine…

    Your photos look amazing! I love that you chose macadamia nuts. They are so underused–except in those sickeningly sweet white chocolate cookies, which have never been my thing. Three cheers for the macadamia!

    • Cara

    Oooh. That looks tasty.

    It is so hot here, too. I honestly don’t remember a heat spell that has lasted this long or been this hot. And it just keeps getting hotter every day. Ugh. And dry, too. Ugh. But I have air conditioning. You poor baby!!!!! Have you tried sticking cold strawberries in your pits? That could help, except for the short-lived cooling effect, and the residual sticky mess. Ha. Ha. Ha.

    • Cara

      July 20, 2012 at 9:43 am
