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.
Katie, I love your blog, but your excessive use of coconut oil concerns me. Coconut oil is 100% saturated fat (the bad fat) you really should cut back and increase the amount of healthier unsaturated fats (specifically omega 3). The amount of saturated fat you must consume is going to give you atherosclerosis and a heart attack at a young age.
This device is a dream come true! I ADORE whipped cream from a can! Ever since going vegan, the only kind that I have been able to find is soyatoo, which I do not find to be a tasty or satisfying substitute at all. I have made your homemade coconut cool whip, which has been fantastic, but I have still missed the cream from the can. I can’t wait to hopefully try this!
This would be a great birthday present to me if I won the day after my birthday! Or I could be nice and give it to my sister for her birthday on the 24th.
Lovelovelove this Whipper. What a fun gadget to have in the fridge ready to go for everything from homemeade pudding to cocoa to your fab pumpkin pie. Thanks for the post on this the Mini Whip and the recipe it’s really appreciated !

WOW..I didn’t even know a whip cream machine even existed. This would be so cool to win. Thank you so much for the opportunity. You are so creative. I love your recipes.
Pinned as fast as I could 🙂
I would love this for my mom, and I love reading all your yummy recipes!
Pretty please!!!!
I would love to have this for my desserts.
Definitely need to look into getting one of those!
This might make my husband forget ice cream…. Ok, that may never happen. But I would love to try.
Oh. My. Goodness!!! I had no idea. I definitely want one now. Thanks for the awesome infomercial! You reeled me in.
I would love to win the whipped cream maker so my vegan toddlers can experience homemade whipped cream. I have a hard time buying anything in an aersol can.
Whipped cream fanatic here! My favorite recipe is peanut butter mousse. Mix stevia and peanut butter into whipped cream container and it’s a spoonful of peanut butter heaven!
This looks sooooo cool! At 1550 comments, I’d be shocked if I win your give away but I’ll just once again say how much my family enjoys your blog with 2 of us dairy free and wheat free. So many great ideas and my dd (a cook in training) loves to browse and try your ideas.
VEGAN WHIPPED CREAM?! Wow, I cannot wait to try this! I bet it’s delicious.
