Keto Whipped Cream

Many desserts beg to be served with whipped cream. A few short minutes is all it takes to create a delicious keto whipped cream for your sweet treats!

WHAT IS KETO WHIPPED CREAM?

Keto whipped cream is a delicious whipped cream topping without all of the added ingredients and extra sugars.

Instead of sugar to sweeten it, powdered erythritol is used to give this a sweet flavor without the carbs!

KETO WHIPPED CREAM INGREDIENTS

Before you try to make this recipe, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand first.

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

After you have this, you’re ready to go!

HOW TO MAKE WHIPPED CREAM

1. Combine all ingredients
2. Using a whisk, hand mixer, or stand mixer, whip the cream until it is thick and can form stiff peaks
3. Chill for a few minutes in the freezer if you wish, then dollop your desserts away!

WHAT CREAM SHOULD I USE?

Generally, whatever heavy cream you have in your local store will work just fine.

Major name brand creams can be easily considered “go-to” as they normally contain no added ingredients and are purely heavy cream.

If you want to buy a store brand or a brand you aren’t immediately familiar with, take a quick second to check the nutrition label and ingredient list.

Often, cheaper creams will contain fillers that can add to the carbohydrate and ingredient count, neither of which you want. After all, you are probably trying to avoid added ingredients, so why buy them in your cream if you can help it?

If you have access to fresh cream, that is always a wonderful option!

A QUICK WORD ABOUT CARRAGEENAN IN CREAM…

Most creams (even the big name brand varieties) contain carrageenan. A quick check of the label will more than likely reveal this.

You’re probably unsure what this is and why it’s in your cream.

Carrageenan is a thickening agent that is added to different foods and liquids, such as heavy cream. The ingredient is derived from red seaweed and used a lot in the United States food production.

If possible, avoid carrageenan as it has been linked to digestive issues and other health ailments. Having said that, we are unable to find a cream locally without it, a problem you are likely to have as well.

In that case, avoiding carrageenan is likely to be difficult, if not impossible.

STORING HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM

Storing your homemade whipped cream is easy!

Simply place your leftover whipped cream into an air-tight container and place it into the fridge. The whipped cream should keep for a couple of days.

If you don’t use it during this time, it’s best to discard any remaining leftovers.

HOW LONG WILL THIS WHIPPED CREAM LAST?

Whipped cream that has been mixed to stiff peaks will (more than likely) keep its form in the fridge for at least two days.

However, there are many different scenarios in the kitchen. Therefore, individual experiences with keep time may vary.

Because of this, it is best to make your whipped cream the same day you plan to use it.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE KETO WHIPPED CREAM

• Hand Mixer – We’ve said it before, but it’s always worth a repeat. A good hand mixer can truly change your life in the kitchen. Whisks and elbow grease is great, but a hand mixer can make short work of just about any mixing task. If you don’t have one as part of your kitchen utensils, there’s no time like now to fix that!
• Stand Mixer – A stand mixer can really make light of a lot of work. Unlike a hand mixer, stand mixers can handle a greater volume of ingredients. Either a hand or stand mixer will get the job done, but if you do a lot of mixing, a stand mixer on your counter or in your kitchen is a great idea!
