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’ve always made homemade whip cream just with an electric beater…but this would be so much more convenient!!! Would love to win!
Ummm yes please. These is my dream come true. As a child I would sneak squirts of rediwhip from the fridge doors.
This looks amazing.. Sometimes I would just skip the ice cream and have a small dish of whipped cream. So good!!!!!
OH MY GOD I have SUCH an addiction to Reddiwhip and I have been cutting back since its not “clean”, so this is probably one of my favorite recipes that you have posted. Ill definitely be making it once I get a whipped cream machine 😉
Also, quick question, is powdered stevia the same as say, stevia in the raw or is it a different consistency and where can I find it? Thanks! (:
Such a great idea – I would use this all the time!
Wow….didn’t even know this existed! I need this..ok…I want this! I’m so obsessed with coconut cream recipes!!!! Thanks for sharing.
I would love one of these! I enjoy following you on Pinterest!
I would absolutely love to win this! We don’t get any of these cool things in Australia….
Ingenious! I would have never thought to use coconut cream. What a brilliant idea!
Hello! I’m always on your site and I love your recipes. Me and my boys (5 and 3) would love this. We are always making hot chocolate and other goodies lol and I always wanted one sence I worked at stabucks way back in the day and we had to make whip cream in the same type of container but it was really heavy. Hope I win because it will be put to good use all year long! Thanks!
