MimicCreme is a brand of vegan imitation cream based on nuts and made without lactose, soy, or gluten. It is certified as pareve kosher. First produced commercially in January 2007 in Albany, New York, by Green Rabbit LLC,[1] MimicCreme is primarily marketed toward vegans as an alternative to dairy products.[2] It was invented by Rose Anne Colavito, who wanted to create a better tasting, richer non-dairy ice cream.[3] There are seven versions available: unsweetened; sweetened with sugarcane; sugar-free sweetened, which is 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.

MimicCreme was awarded "The Best New Product" in the consumables category at the June 2007 National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) show in Boston.[4] It also received the "Best in Show" award at the Expo West in 2008 and 2011, a natural product trade show.[5]

It has up to a two-year shelf life and once opened will remain stable in the refrigerator for 14 days.

Three patents have been granted in the United States: Patent Number 7,507,432 was granted on March 24, 2009, Patent Number 7,592,030 was granted on September 22, 2009, and Patent Number 7,776,337 was granted on August 7, 2010. Various international patents have also been granted. [6]
