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.
Mmm looks so delicious, would ove to try to make that:)
Just created Pinterest 2 days ago and I have pinned lots of recipes of you:)

Oh my goodness this looks so good!! I made your crustless pumpkin pie for thanksgiving and added some cocoa powder and turned it into an amazingly delicious chocolate pumpkin pie! Thought you would approve 😉 I tried hiding it in the fridge, but it disappeared overnight! I guess even my junk food eating family loved it.
Too bad christmas is over, I would’ve asked for one too!
I would love to have this great product in my kitchen!!
Who knew this thing existed? Very cool! I want one now 🙂
I had no idea this product existed! Would love to win – I, too, loved eating whipped cream straight out of the can in my pre-vegan days.
I already follow you on pinterest and just repinned your Million Veggies Lentil Stew.
Looks amazing!!
I am a vegetarian and have been slowly drifting to vegan but reddi whip has always been that one thing I can’t give up! I have never found a recipe to make anything like it. This is soooooo perfect!!!
