Keto Whipped Cream
Many people don't realize how simple it is to make keto whipped cream. Whipping cream is naturally high in fat and low carb.
Some recipes call for several ingredients to make low carb whipped cream but you really only need 3 ingredients.
I've been making whipped cream for years and I've only every used heavy whipping cream, a sweetener and vanilla.
Vanilla extract is inexpensive but if you can get it, I recommend using vanilla bean paste. It has a rich vanilla flavor like no other.
For this keto whipped cream recipe, you can swap the whipping cream with full fat coconut cream for a dairy free keto whipped cream.
Carbs in Whipped Cream
There are a lot less carbs in whipped cream than there is cool whip, or other similar dairy-like products.
While some dairy products are higher in sugar and lower in fat, whipped cream is one of the lower carb options and is regularly included in keto cooking and baking.
For 1 ounce there's 1.1 g of carbs in whipping cream, which is about 3 g's per tablespoon
Since whipped cream is heavy whipping cream with air whipped in, it goes a long way and is perfect for making keto whipped cream.
Keto Whipped Cream Recipe
For this recipe I used Swerve for sweetening the keto whipped cream. If you don't like your low carb whipped cream sweet you can leave it out entirely.
You can also use your sweetener of choice. I've also used Lakanto maple flavored syrup in this recipe and liquid stevia.
If you use Lakanto maple flavored syrup you can do a one for one swap with the Swerve sweetener.
If you use liquid stevia, use 1-2 drops, or as much as you'd like to get the level of sweetness desired.

Is whipped cream keto friendly
Yes, whipped cream is keto friendly if you leave out the sweetener or use a sugar free sweetener. Most whipped cream recipes only call for a small amount of sugar.
Use your favorite sweetener to make this low carb whipped cream recipe.
Is cool whip keto friendly
Traditional cool whip has a small amount of sugar in it. Cool whip also makes a sugar free cool whip version.
Both are considered keto friendly, but please remember all the added ingredients in cool whip. It's not a whole food. Making your own keto whipped cream is better for you.

If you don't have a standing mixer with a whisk attachment you can make this low carb whipped cream with a hand mixer.
I have never tried making keto whipped cream by hand with a whisk.

How to Store Keto Whipped Cream
Like regular sugar sweetened whipped cream, sweetened keto whipped cream needs to be stored covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 3 days before it starts to breakdown.
If you didn't add any sweetener to the keto whipped cream, it will not last as long.
Keto whipped cream stores well in the freezer, for a fun frozen treat.

Can monk fruit sweetener be used instead ofserve? How much would I use?
Four Score Living
Yes, you can use powdered monkfruit sweetener instead of swerve. Use the same amount 🙂
Christine Case
Can you freeze it to make a sort of frozen ice cream substitute?
Four Score Living
Yes, and you can add different extracts for different flavors. For example, recently we added peppermint extract and froze it for a creamy peppermint "ice cream".
Jade
How long could you freeze it for?
Four Score Living
Up to three months.
Faith
Can I use liquid sweetener?
Four Score Living
Yes, just a couple of drops should work. Add more if you like it sweeter.
Judy
Thanks for giving the amounts for liquid stevia. I can’t use Erythritol. Severe issues with it.
I just saw glasses baking of your damn cake. Would it work with the thicker Choczero maple syrup? Should I thin it out? I can’t use Erythritol
Judy
Autocorrect. Wes’s baking of your Dump cake!!!
Four Score Living
I haven't tried using any types of sugar free maple syrup to make my keto dump cake. You can use liquid stevia though. I'd start with 6-8 drops.
