Homemade whipped cream with Splenda
Here's a simple recipe for homemade whipped cream using heavy whipping cream and Splenda:
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- Chill your mixing bowl: For best results, place the bowl you plan to use for mixing (preferably a metal one) in the freezer for about 15 minutes before you begin whipping.
- Combine ingredients: In the chilled bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, Splenda, and vanilla extract.
- Whip the cream: Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream begins to thicken.
- Beat until stiff peaks form: Continue whipping until the cream doubles in volume and stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean that when you lift the beaters, a peak will form and hold its shape.
- Don't overbeat: Be careful not to overbeat, as this can turn the whipped cream into butter.
- Serve and enjoy: Your homemade, sugar-free whipped cream is now ready to be enjoyed with your favorite desserts or beverages.
Tips
- Adjust the amount of Splenda to your desired sweetness level.
- For a fun twist, try adding a dash of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or a little lemon zest for a different flavor.
- While this whipped cream is best enjoyed fresh, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days. If you whip it to stiff peaks, it may last a bit longer, up to about 3 days in the fridge without losing its shape, according to Healthy Recipes Blog.
- For a dairy-free version, you can substitute heavy cream with chilled full-fat coconut cream.
- If you're using a granulated Splenda product, CHAS Health suggests that it generally substitutes cup for cup with regular granulated sugar. However, some sources, like Healthy Recipes Blog, recommend using powdered sugar substitutes for a smoother texture in whipped cream.
Enjoy your delicious and sugar-free homemade whipped cream!
