A cream and endless inspirations

Creams are not just a filling: they are the beating heart of every sweet treat. They are the part that gives character, the one that strikes from the very first bite. They can be light and fresh, or rich and indulgent, but in any case, a good cream is what makes a dessert unforgettable. And when the base is plant-based, the possibilities multiply. 

Behind every surprising dessert, there’s always a well-made cream. And today, thanks to Novacrema by Ar.pa Lieviti, it’s possible to create preparations without milk or eggs, yet with all the smoothness and flavour you desire. From custard-like creams to fried cream: here’s how you can reinvent and transform your desserts. 

Mixing the prepared base with the right amount of plant-based drink is not only a conscious choice, but also an opportunity to explore new flavour nuances. Each variety has its own unique character: almond drink, with its delicate and slightly toasted taste, is perfect for desserts that require elegance; oat drink, with its soft and “rounded” flavour, is ideal for preparations meant to be fluffy and harmonious. Coconut drink, finally, with its exotic and fresh notes, brings a holiday vibe even to the simplest desserts. 

The magic lies in the ability to start from the same base and turn it into an endless variety of creations. Imagine a blank canvas: a cream can become the starting point for ever-new desserts, simply by varying ingredients, textures, or preparation methods. 

With Novacrema Vanilla by Ar.pa, it’s easy to make a custard, a chantilly cream (by adding whipped plant-based cream), or even fried cream—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside: a traditional classic that never fails to surprise in all its versions. 

And why not try something fresher? Prepared with your favourite plant-based drink, a cream can also become a delicious accompaniment to vegan ice cream: served warm, it pairs perfectly with a scoop of sorbet or fruit gelato. 

And speaking of experimentation… have you ever thought of using cream in a savoury dish? An almond-based version can enrich a pie with grilled vegetables, adding a delicate yet original contrast. To try this version, simply replace traditional milk with unsweetened almond drink: you’ll get a dense and velvety cream with a gourmet aromatic note, able to enhance even the most creative savoury recipes. 

In just a few steps, and with a single product, you can create tasty and versatile preparations, from the simplest to the most refined, playing with flavours and contrasts in always new ways. 

Vegan cuisine is never about giving up; it’s an opportunity to explore new possibilities—and with our preparation, the process is simpler and quicker than ever.
