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 follow you on Pinterest, and just pinned your Oatmeal Breakfast Cupcakes
ZOMG. yes please! Reddi-whip used to be one of my favorite-est things. I put it on practically anythibg. Except maybe soup.
I already follow you on Pinterest…which is why I saw this post! I have several of your recipes repinned. A cream whipper (?) is such a fun idea! Love it!
That is so cool, I would love to win one!! With a lactose intolerant 2 year old, having something like that would make it a lot easier and cheaper to make dairy free whip cream for her waffles and dairy free ice cream.
This sounds so good and I will have to make that crustless pumpkin pie soon!
This is totally awesome. I didn’t even know something like this was out there. I need one of these so I can try it on everything :).
I think I’d have entirely too much fun squirting whipped cream on everything! I’ve been wanting to try your coconut homemade Cool Whip for a while now, this would force me to! I love re-pinning your things on Pinterest! My dessert board is full of your stuff!
Oh, I would so love this whipped cream maker!!!! It would add such decadence to your one minute cakes!
I want this! It looks awesome! Oh and I was already following you on pinterest and have pinned things today 😀 my username is allythebuterfly
I would live to win one. Thanks
This is AMAZING…..I had no idea it even existed, but now I really want one! 🙂
This is so neat! I don’t think I have ever seen this before. The inventions these days, they blow my mind!
I’m lactose intolerant and vegan at the moment – I would LOVE one of these!
This whip cream maker sounds dangerous. I can imagine standing there just squirting it my mouth! I have never seen this before but now I know i need this in my life!
What a cool thing you found. I love canned whipped cream but my whole foods is always out of the rice dream
I was just thinking the other day about how awesome it would be to have a device that dispenses homemade whip cream like the canned stuff! I think this is definitely a gadget that will need to be added to my kitchen
