Can you have whipped cream on keto?

Technically, the only reason you can’t have whipped cream on a keto diet is the added sugar. Once you eliminate that, you can indulge in guilt-free whipped cream without falling off the keto bandwagon. Here are some reasons why I LOVE this recipe:

• Made with 3 ingredients. All you need is heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar-free powdered sugar.
• Ready in minutes. I bet it’ll take longer to find your electric mixer than it will to make this recipe.
• Endlessly versatile. Use it to top your drinks, decorate your desserts, or (if you’re like me) eat it straight out of the bowl!
• 1 gram of net carbs. So you can guiltlessly indulge and enjoy my favorite keto desserts.

Ingredients needed

• Heavy cream– Also known as double cream, clotted cream, heavy whipping cream, or thickened cream. Keep it chilled until it is ready to be whisked.
• Vanilla extract– A must for a subtle vanilla note.
• Sugar free powdered sugar– Keto powdered sugar provides both sweetness and a super fluffy texture.

Step 1- Prep. Freeze your mixing bowl for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2- Blend. Once frozen, add all of the ingredients. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend at medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 3- Serve. Add it to your favorite drinks or desserts, or cover it completely and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.

Recipe tips and variations

• Avoid overmixing. Only mix until you have soft peaks. If you keep mixing, you’ll end up with butter.
• Use different extracts. Experiment with lemon extract, maple extract, almond extract, or peppermint extract in place of vanilla. Just make sure not to use too much, as those can be more overpowering than vanilla.
• Make chocolate whipped cream. Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture.
• Or make peanut butter whipped cream. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter powder.
• Change the color. Add a few drops of food coloring to make colorful whipped cream.

Storage instructions

To store: Whipped cream can be stored for up to 24 hours, covered, in the refrigerator. Any longer, as it will lose its stability and require to be re-beaten.

To freeze: As this isn’t a keto cool whip (that remains fluffy in a frozen state), it’s best not to freeze it. Making the whipped cream literally takes under a minute, so no prep needs to be made before making it.
