MimicCreme was a brand of vegan imitation cream based on nuts and made without lactose, soy, or gluten. It was certified as pareve kosher. First produced commercially in January 2007 in Albany, New York, by Green Rabbit LLC,[1] MimicCreme was primarily marketed toward vegans as an alternative to dairy products.[2] The company website indicates that the company closed in November 2013 due to no longer having access to an appropriate production facility (they are still looking for one).[3][4]
The product was invented by Rose Anne Colavito, who wanted to create a better tasting, richer non-dairy ice cream.[5] There were seven versions available: unsweetened; sweetened with sugarcane; sugar-free sweetened, which was sweetened with a natural non-sugar sweetener; Unsweetened, French Vanilla and Hazelnut flavored formulated for use as a coffee creamer and a whipping cream called HealthyTop.
It had up to a two-year shelf life and once opened would remain stable in the refrigerator for 14 days.
