My wife is a pretty talented vegan baker and cook. Some things I can’t even tell. I’m not vegan but one of our adult sons is so I’m able to taste the difference when she makes something for him. She tried to make a vegan cheesecake once. It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. She thought so too so I’m not being cruel. The taste was ok I guess but the texture was a complete disaster. He seemed to like it though. And the vegan cheese we buy to put on things like lasagna, is passable at best. Most of it tastes like yellow soft plastic.

So yeah I agree. But strangely enough we found this plant based heavy whipping cream from country crock that she makes stabilized whip cream from (think instant pudding and heavy whipping cream) and I think I actually prefer that to real heavy cream. It’s amazing.
