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 looks like so much fun! I would also love to add this device to my kitchen. I FOUND you through Pinterest and have been a devoted follower ever since! In fact, this post is my last pin. Love how innovative and whimsical you are, Katie.
I love coconut whipped cream, and this sounds like an amazing way to make it even more delicious!
I am with you about squirty whip-cream. It was a favorite for sure! AND I had no idea there were at home squirty whip-cream makers. I feel like my whole life has been a sham.
I can’t wait to try it myself. I *will* wait to see if by some chance I win, but only until January 25th at, well, maybe noon-ish. It would be super crazy to order one of those miracle makers at midnight, wouldn’t it?
That is so awesome! My family really likes whipped cream! When there is a open can in the refrigerator, my brothers open their mouth and pour the whipped cream in, then make sure that my mom didn’t see them. 🙂
Oh, and I already followed you on Pinterest and that is why I saw this post! 🙂 I want to make your homemade Reese’s eggs, but haven’t done it yet. 🙂
I also just followed you on Pinterest and pinned the 1 million veggies lentil stew! I’ll definitely be making that for dinner this week!
That whipped cream maker looks amazing! I also repinned your twix recipe on Pinterest.
If I don’t win this I will definitely be buying it! 🙂
This looks awesome! I’d love one 🙂
I’ve never seen or knew there was a whipped cream maker. How fun to make it healthy! I follow you on Pinterest already and love your recipes that I have already pinned. Thanks!
I have never seen one of these before! This is exciting!
I’ve wondered if the isi whip worked. Now I really want one!
I have always wanted to try making my own whipped cream, this would be fantastic!
I have a problem.
I eat whipped cream squirted straight onto my plate, nothing else, just the whipped cream…
DELICIOUSNESS.
My family hates me for it! 🙂
So yeah, me getting one of these is a good idea
I already follow you on Pinterest and have already pinned many of your recipes, but just pinned the Twix bars. Those are the hubbies fav, so I’m going to make them for him for Valentine’s Day! 🙂
yum! I put whipped cream on my latte every morning. This would be great to have!
