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.
Oh my god this looks delicious!!
I’ve wanted one of these for a long time! This would be so much better than buying expensive cans of soy whipped cream.
I follow you on pinterest, and I repinned your pin for this recipe!
Loveeeeee thisssss!!
I’d love to win this! I use reddi-whip every day! Would be nice to be able to make my own.

Love your site! Thanks for all the great ideas. Pick me! Pick me!;)
This looks like a fun kitchen gadget!
Love, love, love your recipes and blog!!!
I would absolutely love this! I usually would want a non-dairy whip cream, and most of those have chemicals so I’m very into the idea of making my own. This looks so cool and it just got me so in the mood for whipped cream. I hope I win!
I LOVE YOUR RECIPES!! I already follow your pins and post your recipes! I sure hope I win, but if not then I will DEF be adding this to my wishlist! Thnx for sharing 🙂
I used to have one of these many moons ago before I went vegan, but it got lost during a move. As good as the Soyatoo vegan whipped cream tastes, sometimes the cans work properly, and sometimes they don’t. Even when they do work, there always seems to be a lot of “cream” left in the can when the nitrous oxide expires, so I always feel kind of ripped off. But with this gizmo, such problems would be a thing of the past. I want one!
By the way, this is my new favorite vegan recipe website, and it just keeps getting better and better every day!
This is so cool. I love it. Thanks for the great recipes I am totally going to try these out. I am now following you on Pinterest as well.
Going on my birthday wishlist if I dont win one 🙂
That is the coolest invention!
