According to the company, the alternative dairy product is nearly identical in taste and texture to traditional dairy-based whipping cream. 'Heavy Whip,' which has a coconut oil basis and is unflavored and unsweetened, was formulated to perform like dairy-heavy whipping cream. For example, much like traditional whipping cream, Califia Farms Heavy Whip can be paired with soups, [creamy desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whipped-frosting), salad dressings, and more. “At Califia, we're passionate about celebrating the irresistible goodness of plants, and we saw an opportunity to create a [plant-based swap for dairy-heavy whipping cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solein-cream) without compromising on taste and functionality,” said Suzanne Ginestro, the company’s chief marketing officer.
