Plant cream

It is typically produced by grinding plant material into a thick liquid to which gums are added to imitate the viscosity and mouthfeel of cream.

Some imitation cream contains a mixture of non-dairy and dairy ingredients.

For instance, Cool Whip includes some milk;[5] Elmlea sells both fully plant-based[6] and mixed imitation creams.

[4] Whipped toppings are 'fat foams'; usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.

[8] They differ from whipped cream dessert toppings due to containing very little to no dairy whatsoever.
