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 would love to try this. I have just recently switched to coconut milk in my coffee… Would love a dollop of that on top! Yum!
That would be a cool thing to win!
Oh how I miss whipped cream since going dairy free! I would love this!
I also follow you on pinterest and re-pin your recipes all the time 🙂
Thanks for this opportunity!!!
I WANT ONE!!!
What a fantastic idea. Can never have enough whipped cream. And I love the coconut idea.
I would love to win one of these. This looks soo fun!!
I Want One!!!!
😀 This would be amazing to win. Thanks so much, but whoever gets it is a lucky gal (or guy)!
I would love to try making homemade whipped cream with a machine of my own! I follow and re-pin your pins on Pinterest as well.
This looks amazing! I didn’t even know whipped cream from the can could exist without buying the real can! My brothers and I always used to squirt Reddi Whip right into our mouths. Yummmmmm. I can’t wait to try your version. Hopefully I can with this giveaway!!!!!
Definitely putting this on my wish list if I don’t win it. Whipped cream is one of my favorite indulgences! I make your coconut whipped cream recipe as my standard.
Yum! I LOVE whipped cream! when I was little I loved Reddi Whip, but now I avoid it bc of how unhealthy it is :\
This recipe looks great – so much simpler and lighter than reg homemade, and lasts much longer too! Awesome!!! I’d love to win this ; )
This would be so neat to have!! We love whipped cream and never have it on hand when someone wants it. Or, the Cool Whip is all hard and ugly. So, my family would really appreciate this and we would all have a ball after dinner with our desserts!!
This looks so yummy! I’d love to win so I could try making this. I totally love gadgets, so I’m a little surprised I’ve never run across one of these before!
