Tips for making the best whipped cream .
Not all sugar alternatives taste the same as they are made with different ingredients. You may need to experiment with different options as sweetness levels, as well as aftertastes, can vary .
- While my recipe if made with a powdered sugar alternative, it is possible to make this recipe with a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. You may however have to make adjustments as needed for texture and taste.
- Chilling your equipment is essential for the success of your homemade whipped cream. This means placing your mixing bowl, beaters or whisk attachments in your refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before making your homemade whipped cream. Your whipping cream should also be cold.
- Make this homemade whipped topping vegan. Use a chilled full-fat coconut milk instead of whipping cream.
How to store sugar free whipped cream .
This recipe is best when served just after whipping it up as it will be at its full volume thanks to the air that you just whipped into it. However, if you need to store it, you can place your whipped topping in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to a day, whipping it again as needed when serving. This whipped cream can also be frozen and then re-whipped as needed.
