Silk® beverages work like milk in almost any recipe. It’s an ounce-for-ounce, or cup-for-cup, substitution. Yep, it really is that simple. Here are some other tips to smooth the way.
Silk will scorch if cooked at too high a temperature. Use moderate heat and stir constantly for best results.
Our products don’t freeze well. (The taste and texture go downhill when thawed.) But mix them with other ingredients and you’re good. Try Silk beverages in frozen desserts like granita.
Vanilla, Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice add a festive little kick to special desserts and breakfast treats.
Since there’s no added sugar, any kind of Unsweet will work well across a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory.
Any kind of Original adds a touch of sweetness, similar to dairy milk.
Our coconut and coconut almond blends taste coconutty, so they’re best in dishes that complement coconut. Think curries and desserts.
Most Silk products are low in saturated fat, so they need a little extra thickener to set properly in puddings or custards. Try adding 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.
Silk doesn’t whip up like whipping cream. Scroll on down for ways to make dairy-free whipped topping. Or just drizzle some Silk on top of fresh fruit or cobbler.
Bring your dairy-free A game to anything you want to make. Try a simple Silk swap with your dairy go-to, or go all-in on dairy-free. With Silk, you don’t have to go without, and it’s easier than you might think. Options feel like progress to us.

Use Silk Heavy Whipping Cream Alternative cup for cup like dairy to jazz up soups, sauces and casseroles. Or whip it and add a dollop (or two) to desserts, fruit, and more!
