I bought both flavors! yummy! But I was wondering if you can make whipped cream out of it? I'm not sure if it will whip up the same way heavy cream does. Maybe I can mix in some silken tofu for texture? I think the pumpkin spice flavor would make an excellent whipped topping for muffins & cakes!

This is a really good idea. I'm gonna try it and see what happens.

The egg nog is delish! It's a far cry from what I'm used to but damn this was good. The one thing that would make it perfect for me were if it were thicker. Otherwise, it's Yum-o!

I used one part silk nog, 3 parts canola oil. ***Use in moderation!! - it's mostly oil!*** I recommend topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. And definitely served completely chilled. I mixed the nog and canola oil with a hand held blender. Beating with a mixer just doesn't do the trick. Anything you have successfully used to make whipping cream with should work.

Allow 5 minutes to prepare.
EACH 100g PROVIDES
268kcal 4g protein 5g carbohydrate 26g fat 1g fibre
Ingredients
125g/¼lb/½ cup tofu
75ml/5tbsp sunflower oil
100ml/7tbs soya milk
15ml/1tbsp vanilla essence
25ml/1½tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Method

2. Transfer to suitable storage jars and refrigerate till needed.
I found this on a Vegan recipe website (http://www.vegsoc.org/cordonvert/recipes2/leancuisine4.html) and thought it looked interesting. Use it sparingly though because it's pretty high in fat - 26g fat per 100g - though that's a pretty huge serving!
