Learn how to make delicious and healthy sugar free whipped cream in just 2 minutes! This homemade whipping cream recipe requires only 3 ingredients. You won't believe how much better it tastes than the ready-made stuff.
I used to buy ready-made whipping cream cans, but once I started a sugar free diet and began reading labels I stopped.
Store-bought whipped cream is very high in sugar and preservatives. And if you do find a ready-made no sugar version, you bet it'll contain artificial sweeteners.
There really is no reason NOT to make your own low carb whipped cream.
It is not much different from making regular whipped cream. You just have to swap out the sugar for a low carb sweetener!

🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Easy - 3 ingredients, 2 steps
- Quick - ready in 2 minutes
- Sugar free
- Keto friendly - 0.4 grams of net carbs per serving
- Creamy, light and fluffy texture
- Gluten-free, no artificial flavor
Ingredients
Here are the three ingredients you need:
#1: Heavy cream - should be fridge cold. Always use heavy (double) cream rather than light cream. It tastes better because it is creamier and it stays firm for longer.
#2: Powdered sweetener - The best sweetener for sugar free whipped cream is allulose, because it dissolves like sugar and does not recrystallize. However, you can also use powdered erythritol blends such as monk fruit sweeteners to xylitol. All sweeteners must be powdered.
#3: Vanilla extract
Instructions
There are only 2 simple steps:
Step 1: Put the heavy whipping cream, powdered sweetener and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Beat with a hand mixer or a stand mixer for about 2 minutes until soft peaks form.
Top tips
Making sugar free whipped cream is very simple. However, there are a few important tips to get best results:
Tip #1: Chill everything. The cream should be fridge cold. And it helps to put the mixing bowl as well as the beaters or whisk attachment into the freezer for 20 minute before using. This way, the whipped cream does not overheat and you can incorporate as much air as possible.
Tip#2: Move the mixer while beating. This way, all the cream gets mixed and you avoid having pockets or liquid cream at the end.
Tip #3: Don't overmix. Heavy whipping cream goes from soft peaks to stiff peaks to ruined very quickly. Don't blend too long or you will end up with butter.
FAQ
Yes it is - if you make your own. Regular whipped cream recipes will nearly always call for several teaspoons of table sugar. This adds unnecessary amounts of carbs - and you haven't even counted the slice of cake you're putting it on! By simply swapping the sugar for sweetener, you're making keto whipped cream.
Not at all. You can make whipped cream without any sugar-free sweeteners or vanilla. Just use the cream!
Heavy whipping cream is naturally low in carbohydrates. One entire cup or 240 grams contains just 6.8g net carbs. One portion or 2 tablespoons of this recipe has only 0.4 net carbs.
The difference is in the fat content. Light cream (also called single cream) has a fat content of 18-25%, while heavy cream (also called double cream) has a fat content of 30-40%.
Yes, it is possible to use 8-10 drops of stevia glycerite to sweeten whipped cream. However, I prefer the taste of either allulose or powdered erythritol sweetener blends.
Variations
Here are a few ideas how you can change the flavor of this recipe:
Chocolate whipped cream: Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, plus 1-2 additional tablespoons of powdered sweetener. It's fantastic on chocolate desserts such as this keto chocolate cake.
Lemon: Add a little lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon. This works a treat for any fruity desserts.
Cinnamon: Sprinkle cinnamon into the cream while you are whisking it.
Coconut: Use coconut extract instead of vanilla.
Serve on
Here are some sugar free desserts that are even better with a whipped cream topping:
- Strawberries or any other berries
- Skinny keto mixed berry pie
- Peanut butter mug cake
- Chocolate lava cake
- Strawberry shortcake trifle pots
- Vanilla ice cream
Storage
Refrigerator: Store sugar free whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Whisk it again briefly before serving.
Freezer: Dollop portions of the cream on a sheet of parchment paper and freeze. Once frozen, transfer into a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
This way, you can use single portions of whipped cream on desserts or in hot chocolate.
