Is Heavy Whipping Cream Keto Friendly?
Heavy whipping cream is definitely keto friendly! In fact, it is a staple for many people! With its high-fat content, it can be both beneficial and something to watch out for in terms of calories. So use it and love it, but make sure you are mindful that high fat = high calories! If it fits in your macros then have at it!
Is Whipped Cream Keto?
As we discussed, this particular whipped cream is keto friendly. It all depends on how you make it. I don’t recommend buying the store bought whipped cream as those are often made with milk and sugar, which are most certainly NOT keto.
However, made from scratch whipped cream made from heavy whipping cream (see above) with no added sugar is most certainly keto!
Tools Needed
You don’t need any fancy supplies to make this whipped cream recipe. Just a few things that you probably already have in your kitchen!
How to Make Keto Whipped Cream
Are you ready for the easiest homemade keto whipped cream recipe ever?
You literally just put all the ingredients (heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and sweetener) into a deep bowl and start beating with a hand beater. You keep at it until soft peaks form.
What Are Soft Peaks?
The easiest way to check to see if soft peaks have formed is to first stop the beaters. Dip them into the whipped cream and pull them out slowly. If the whipped cream pulls upward and forms a stiff (yet soft) “peak” then you are good to go!
Keto Whipped Cream Flavors
While vanilla is a popular choice for whipped cream recipes, there are other exciting flavor options to enhance the flavor or fit a particular dessert. My favorite variation is the Keto Peppermint Whipped Cream which gives a delightful twist.
Experiment with sweeteners such as erythritol or monkfruit to find your perfect balance of sweetness. My favorite keto sweetener is the Besti brand and it is monk fruit and allulose based. If you want to try it out, you can use code TRINA10 for a 10% discount.
Variations for Homemade Whipped Cream
We already talked about peppermint whipped cream. You can add any extract flavor that makes your heart happy. Another favorite of mine is to add almond extract.
You could add some peanut butter (about 1/2 cup) and make yourself a delicious keto peanut butter mousse. Or simply throw some berries on top and you have a delicious keto berries and cream dessert.
Tips for Success
Patience is key when making whipped cream. Don’t stop mixing when it starts to thicken; continue until you achieve nice, firm peaks. This ensures a velvety texture that will elevate any keto dessert or beverage.
Also, experiment with different ways to serve whipped cream. You might be surprised at all the fun ways to consume it!
