This vegan clotted cream recipe is made with only 3 ingredients! Perfect for tea time with scones & jelly, or indulgent breakfasts.
Few things are more comforting than tea time with some scones & clotted cream. I didn’t have time to make scones this past weekend— but a slice of delicious Dave’s Bread proved to be a decent substitute. Fresh figs did help a lot, of course.
Clotted cream was one of the very first things I recall having a harder time giving up. Meat? Not a problem. Eggs? Could live without. Cheeeese? *Scoffs*. Clotted cream? *Sad face* … until I made this!
So if you are vegan or are trying to cut animal products from your diet here and there, worry not! I got you with this extremely easy recipe, requiring only three ingredients.
How to Make Vegan Clotted Cream
You will need the following:
- Coconut cream
- Dairy-free cream cheese
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Mix everything up with an electric or hand-mixer for a few minutes and that. is. it! Store in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container to enjoy later in the week. How about on some toast with figs and pumpkin seeds?
Nutrition Optimization
In Turkey, clotted cream is not supposed to be sweet aside from the natural sugars from the dairy. Since it is usually consumed with dessert anyway, I don’t think that adding sugar is crucial here. However, a little bit of it (like the 1 teaspoon in this recipe), does the trick to satisfy that extra sweet tooth.
If you would like to make this recipe gluten-free, nut-free, or soy-free, choose the dairy-free cream cheese accordingly. Any unflavored variety would work. I like the nut-based Kite Hill brand and the soy-based Trader Joe’s one.
