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.

This is so cool! Sometimes my family walks in on me eating whipped cream straight from the can! SO embarrassing, but so yummy! Can’t wait to try this!
Ah one of ,y fav foods that I gave up upon going vegan! Looks amazing as usual(:
I never knew one of these existed, I would love one!
Thank you for your wonderful recipes! This sounds amazing, my husband and i just started a plant based diet this year and i’ve ben missing dairy, i think some homemade redi whip could fix that! And my daughter would have so much fun helping!
Oh that is so cool! I love whipped cream, but I try not to buy it for the exact reasons you listed! What a fun gadget!
Followed you on Pinterest and repinned two posts (username is melitami).
I followed your on pinterest and repinned your single serve chocolate cake…yum!
That looks amazing! I really miss aerosol cream since going dairy free! Especially on hot chocolate 🙂
Looks yummy! Thank you for the recipe and giveaway!
I would LOVE a whipped cream machine!!!
I have never heard of such a thing but I would LOVE to use this because reddi-wip (vegan) belongs on top of everything from desserts, to breakfasts and beverages! PS- my Christmas list was filled with soley with kitchen gadgets and ingredients. Who doesn’t want a bag of hemp seeds and a new doughnut pan, right?
Whipped cream is an amazing condiment that’s awesome on cake, fruit, icecream, hot chocolate, and well, any dessert. This machine is probably a lot easier to use than manually whipping cream like they did in ye olde tymes.
I love buying new kitchen appliances! I asked for and received a yonanas machine for christmas this year, so I totally understand.
Cool, love whip
