Is there a non dairy substitute for heavy cream?

just curious, because i've been having a problem with dairy lately, so i want to get used to non-dairy items.Is there a non dairy substitute for heavy cream?
It depends on what you're using it for.





Whipped cream, you could use egg whites I suppose.





But cooking-wise, theres not much of a substitute so far as I know...hmmmm...





Best I can tell you is, if you're lactose intolerant (if your stomach wants to kill you for drinking a glass of milk), cooking will caramalize or burn almost all of the lactose in any dairy, so in cooked dishes you should be alright.


If you're looking for the whipped cream on cake or such, then I would go with a royal icing:


4 egg whites


4 cups powdered sugar


1 teaspoon lemon juice


Beat all to stiff peaks.





Hope this helps.


If you specify what you need it for, then I might be able to elaborate.Is there a non dairy substitute for heavy cream?
if your using it for icing or whipped cream type topping try Rich's bettercreme or pastry's pride
Soy milk is pretty good.
