Why Use Sugar Free Cool Whip When You Can Make Something Better? - less than .5g TOTAL carbs per 3TB

[@SeriousKeto]

The reason I made this video is because of the number of posts I see in Facebook keto groups where people are showing off their recipes with Sugar Free Cool Whip. Clearly, these folks are unaware of just how easy it is to make a sweetened whipped cream that is superior to Cool Whip in terms of taste, macronutrients and ingredients. I'm not including a recipe for this, as it's super simple and super scalable. Here are the basics: - Chill the bowl you're going to be whipping the cream in. I didn't do this in the video, but I've heard it can speed up the process. - Use whatever quantity of heavy whipping cream you want. Just know that it will triple in volume. - You'll need to dial in how much sweetener is right for you - Using a hand mixer (ideally with a whisk attachment), whisk the cream until moderately stiff peaks form. This took about 3 minutes using 1 cup (235mL) of cream - It should keep 3-4 days in the fridge before it starts to thin out When calculating macros, just look at what they are on the carton for a 1TB (15mL) serving and that's what they'll be for 3TB of whipped cream

[@rancid216]

When it thins out can you just whip it again?

[@LeahHacklemanGood]

@@SeriousKeto Well, sadly, I'm good about that usually... but I just grabbed from the store shelf on a quick trip. You'd think I'd have learned by now to read every darn label even for things that seem straightforward!

[@SeriousKeto]

@@LeahHacklemanGood I think a lot of manufacturers take advantage of people being in a hurry and just seeing the words "sugar free" or "keto" or "low carb" in big letters on the front of the package.

[@StoneColdMagic]

I've been using powdered swerve and vanilla extract. Your version is way easier and way less messy. Thank you! Also, here's a trick that helps make it even better: 1) Use a metal bowl 2) Put the bowl, and the beater in the freezer for about 10 or so minutes before mixing.

[@myriamacevedo1967]

How much powdered swerve per cup of hwc?????

[@chrisavetrano]

Being a long time Cool Whip lover but not the 40 chemicals I had to buy the stevia vanilla crème after you and your whole family testified to the marshmallow taste. Wow! This stevia brand is greatI I used my little frother to whip up a half cup in a small glass and then dipped 5 strawberries into it! Heaven. Not missing the cake part at all! Thanks

Apple crisp made with chayote squash is brilliant. My non keto husband had no idea it wasn't apples!

[@SeriousKeto]

I agree, but I’m buried in zucchini from my garden right now and need to use it up. 🙂

[@deborahgrogan1919]

I love that you're going back to basics and showing folks how easy keto can be! To make whipped cream even easier, I combine the HWC and stevia of choice, then pour it into my chilled Zidion whipped cream canister. I've had it almost 6 years and that little gadget has been awesome! I use it fairly often and it's always a big hit. It makes even a simple bowl of berries feel decadent! Great job Steve!

[@SeriousKeto]

I did a video on that probably 4 years ago. Since then, the Whip-It canisters have been made illegal to ship to Wisconsin.

Easy peasy...and soooo good! As an aside, I was always taught to chill the bowl (or other container) and beaters before starting to whip the cream. Helps especially on really hot days.

[@SeriousKeto]

That is a great tip. 👍 Incidentally, the high temp today will be 70F. Not a lot of hot days this summer in Wisconsin.

I've been using unflavored beef gelatin in my whipped cream and it stays whipped for days.

[@SeriousKeto]

I may try that, though ours gets consumed before that happens.

[@rit1chea]

Came to say the same😁. I like the texture. I even add unflavored gelatin to my keto chows for a pudding consistency.

[@koberster1431]

How much gelatin would you add to Steve's 1 cup hwc?

[@rit1chea]

@@koberster1431 1 tsp of gelatin which you bloom for 5 min in about 4 tsp cold water. After bloom, warm the gelatin mixture slightly to completely dissolve/liquify the gelatin. After the cream/sweetener has been mixed for a minute or so, add the gelatin mixture in a steady stream while the mixture is being beaten. In case you're like me and only use this once or twice a month, you can put dollops on a tray (I use silpat-lined cookie sheet) and freeze. Remove from tray and store the frozen dollops in bag/container. Take out about 10 minutes before use. Or, just eat one (ok, two or three) while still frozen!

[@evastanton4727]

⁠@@rit1chea I used to do the same when I had my pastry catering business. Stabilized whipped cream is usual for bakeries, it is gorgeous for piping and delicious.

Thank you for the video, Steve. I use this technique to make soft serve ice cream that I saw on Victoria's Kitchen's channel.

Great video! I've got my Mom's whipped cream maker that's probably from the 1940's or 50's. It's about 6" tall and 3" wide glass jar with a lid that has a plunger in the middle. On the bottom of the plunger are 4 metal discs that have holes throughout each disc. You pour your cream inside and just plunge away until it turns into whipped cream. Not hard, but you do need a little "elbow grease" to whip your cream, but it works just great. I'm going to get myself a bottle of those stevia drops. Thanks much! 😃

[@SeriousKeto]

That’s super cool

[@craigslitzer4857]

When I first started trying to make my own ice cream, before buying a dedicated churning machine, this is how I did it. Start whipping the cream, then add sweetener, vanilla, and/or cocoa powder. Continue whipping until stiff peaks, then toss it in the freezer for ~18 hours.

Steve, I do the same thing, but I add ¼ tsp. Xanthan Gum and ¼ tsp. vanilla. It stabilizes the whipped cream and it won't break down. I've found I can put it on things that sit in the fridge for hours and it will stay fresh looking.
