Behold, the great wall of healthy whipped cream…
Shown above, on top of my Crustless Pumpkin Pie.
Don’t laugh… but as a kid, squirt whipped cream was one of my favorite foods. Every time we held a slumber party, soccer-team party, or girl scout party, we’d be sure to buy extra cans of Reddi-Wip, and my ice cream sundaes looked like this:
Small scoop of ice cream, ocean of chocolate syrup, mountain of whipped cream.
Homemade Reddi-Wip whipped cream is light and airy and swirly, just like the real thing! However, this one has no preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers, or cholesterol. It is straight-up awesomeness: great on ice cream, hot chocolate, pancakes, squirted straight from the can (my personal favorite), or used anywhere else you’d use squirt whipped cream.
When I first saw the Isi “Easy Whip” mini whipped cream maker at Crate & Barrel, I was so curious as to whether or not it would work with my Homemade Coconut Cool Whip that the machine immediately went onto my Christmas list. Some people ask for jewelry for Christmas; some ask for fancy cars.
But you can’t eat a fancy car.
And I really hope you don’t eat your jewelry.
You can, however, eat this:
Healthy Whipped Cream – Homemade Reddi-Wip
(can be sugar-free)
- 1 can “heavy cream” such as coconut cream or Mimicreme (If you can’t find coconut cream, which can be purchased at Trader Joe’s or at an Asian market, you may use the thick cream that forms at the top of most full-fat cans of coconut milk when it’s chilled. If you go that route, I’d recommend using the cream from the tops of 2 cans.)
- powdered sugar or powdered stevia to taste
- optional: add a few drops of vanilla extract or almond or peppermint extract for a flavored whipped cream. And yes, this does work with my Chocolate Whipped Cream Recipe.
Healthy Whipped Cream Instructions: (If you don’t have a whipped cream machine, whip up your cream and sweetener with beaters instead, until stiff peaks form.) Prepare the whipped cream container and charger according to manufacturer’s directions for your specific brand/model. Pour in the cream– if using coconut cream, it’s best to not chill first. In seconds, the 1/2 pint you put in will yield 5 times that amount! (So 2.5 pints total for this recipe.) Use anywhere you’d use squirt whipped cream, and it stays fresh for up to ten days in the refrigerator.
And another shot with the Crustless Pumpkin Pie.
Just because.
I would love this for my son! He has dairy/egg allergies and I would love to make him vegan hot chocolate and “Reddi Whip” the top! 🙂
I didn’t even know such a thing existed! This would be so fun to have to make light and airy whipped cream! Thanks for the post and the offer 🙂
When I was a kid, I used to microwave a soft cookie (any cookie would do), top it with whipped cream (made from whipped cream machine) and eat it! It was delicious. Needless to say, after a few weeks of that, I went years with not being able to eat whipped cream. I am back in the regular world now, I can eat whipped cream.
I foolow you on Pinterest and pinned 3 of your recipes!

This sounds incredible! I’m such a whipped cream fiend, but it always turns out too thick when I try using my mixmaster to make homemade whipped cream. I can’t wait to try this!!!
I’d love to win the whipped cream machine. When I was younger, I used to buy a can and eat the whole thing myself. This would help me fuel my addiction 🙂
This thing is so cool! Didn’t even know these machines existed!
Mmmm… I LOVE coconut cream, and the kind of whipped cream that squirts out of a can into one long, fluffy line of deliciousness… * sighs blissfully * No words. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely try!! 😀
