Sugar Free Keto Whipped Cream

It’s amazing on its own, and it’s also the perfect topping for berries, mug cakes, and crustless pies. This sugar-free whipped cream is amazing. It’s rich, wonderfully fluffy, and not overly sweet. It’s one of those desserts where the low-carb version is truly just as good as the original. The best part: It’s VERY easy to make! I simply use my food processor, dump the three ingredients in, press “start,” and it’s ready in TWO MINUTES. No elbow grease required!

Ingredients

You’ll only need three ingredients to make a rich, delicious keto whipped cream. Don’t you love recipes with a short ingredients list! The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Heavy whipping cream: Since we’re using the food processor, it doesn’t have to be super-cold. You can use heavy cream with or without gums and thickeners - both work. Sweetener: I use stevia glycerite. You could use a powdered sugar-free sweetener instead. Vanilla extract: Try to use the real thing - pure vanilla extract - and not the artificially flavored stuff. There’s a difference.

Frequently asked questions

Expert tip

I have found that if you have a food processor with a “high” setting, this is pretty much a foolproof way to make great whipped cream with minimal effort. There’s no need for everything to be cold (normally you would need to chill the mixing bowl and the whisks). The food processor is very powerful, and it whips a cup of heavy cream beautifully in about 2 minutes. Just keep an eye on it. Whip only until soft peaks form, then stop. Try not to overbeat the cream, or it could separate and become grainy. But if that happens, a simple fix is to add more liquid cream and re-whip.

Variations and substitutions

As mentioned above, you can replace the stevia with a powdered sweetener. Just make sure it’s powdered to avoid a grainy texture. If you like coconut, an interesting variation is to use pure coconut extract instead of vanilla extract. But use less of it - try ⅛ teaspoon. It has a very strong flavor and could easily overpower your dessert. Finally, one of my favorite variations is to make chocolate whipped cream. It’s so rich and delicious!
