| Creamy, nutty, buttery, goodness. Much thicker than regular cream and Almond Milk and only 10 calories for 1 tbsp of the unsweetened. I use it in soups, sauces, ICE CREAM!!, chai tea, etc. Give it a go! |

| This product is much appreciated when one is on the Atkins 1000 calorie fat fast :). It's flavor is pretty neutral (yet refreshing) but lighter than heavy cream, but for 10 calories per tablespoon and no carbs--and once you've mixed it into whatever it is you choose--one can hardly make a distinction. The consistency/appearance differs more from heavy cream--it is more of a blue-ish gray hue and is a lot thicker, but, like cream, gets thinner if it's heated. I'm telling you though, BUY THIS PRODUCT! Even if my description concerns you, when you actually try it you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. The options for this are many:
use one part Mimicreme to one part heavy cream in Dixie Diner's Mousse Mix (makes the mousse around 135 cals as opposed to over 200 for a 1/2 cup); use 1 teaspoon butter(or none at all) with 2 or 3 tsp mimicreme for an alfredo sauce/ or sweeten with erythritol and use to enhance the Cinnamunch pork rinds by Flax-Z-Snax; add to Walden Farms zero-calorie products to make them more satisfying and "fatty" (esp. the peanut spread--mimicreme makes it divine!);
-Mocha-coffee drink with mmc and water, erythritol, and unsweetened cocoa;
-"Ice cream" with Walden Farms marshmallow dip, mmc, a little heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla extract, and marscapone. Enjoy! |

| I have been looking for a healthier alternative to 1/2 and 1/2, which I am guilty of using too much of. This product met my expectations. It is creamy and has the consistency of heavy cream. It should be shaken every time it is used to mix any particles that have fallen to the bottom. It mixes well in coffee. It may look curdled when you first pour it in but will disappear when stirred. I also pour it on my cereal. It has a grayish hue; to be expected from a natural product. I love it! |

| On a visual scale it looks pretty scary BUT it tastes wonderful. Have been using soy milk -- and half & half when I cheat. But his tastes so GREAT I won't have to cheat again. Love it. |

| I used the sugar free sweetened version to make chocolate Ice Cream and give it a major thumbs up. Nobody knew it wasn't store bought Ice cream. |

| I use the stuff a lot in gravies, sauces, pies and creams. It thickens the mix some what, which I like. Where ever milk or heavy cream is asked for, I use mimic. My favorite is: melt 100% chocolate, 113 gr, add 32 gr of smart balance light butter, melt, add splenda until sweet enough, then add sweet mimic or regular( needs some more splenda) until nice mid.brown color. Let stand for few hours to thicken. Great for fillings or just as a cream. My wife can't keep her hands of that stuff. |

| I LOVE this product! It's flavor is mild, and very reminiscent of cream. I used it to make a mushroom/sherry sauce to go over pasta, and it turned out great! Then I created a dessert sauce just by stirring in some sugar and nutmeg.
I have just ordered some more, to try with ice cream recipes.
I have never cared for the after taste of soy based dairy substitutes. What's more, I have been unable to find a non-dairy cream that was unsweetened, until now. This really works as a cream substitute!
It does not whip-but the company is coming out with a whipping version in Spring of 2009. |

September 01, 2008 Reviewer: Sarah in Florida |
| I gave this a 2 because I have to give it the benefit of the doubt without having tasted it. I couldn't. The off-putting greyish hue and gluey thick texture with chunks here and there turned me completely off. It stayed all particley in my coffee and refused to blend. It didn't have a foul odor and I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but I couldn't bear to even try it. |
