GET IT NOWMy Sugar Free Whipped Cream Is Light, Fluffy, and So Easy to Make
If you’ve ever needed whipped cream but didn’t want to run to the store or wanted a cleaner option, I’ve been there. That’s exactly why I started making this sugar free whipped cream at home. It takes just a few minutes to make, and the flavor and texture are way better than the canned stuff. I use it on desserts, in drinks, or honestly just eat it by the spoonful. Here’s why you’ll love it too:
- Fluffy, cloud-like texture – This turns out light and airy every time, as long as you don’t overmix. I always stop at soft peaks for the perfect spoonable consistency.
- Just 3 ingredients – All you need is cream, vanilla, and powdered sweetener. I love how simple it is! No weird additives, just the basics that really let the flavor shine.
- Healthier than store-bought – The big difference in this sugar free whipped cream is the sweetener. I use Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend instead of powdered sugar, and it tastes just as sweet without the extra sugar keeping it low-carb.
Once I started making homemade whipped cream, I never looked back. Make it with me and see why!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my sugar free whipped cream recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This sweetener dissolves perfectly into the cream, which is why I always use it. Other powdered options can work, but anything with granulated erythritol (like most monk fruit sweeteners, stevia, or Swerve) can crystallize and won’t mix in well. Regular crystallized Besti may work too, just make sure to beat it until fully dissolved. Other granulated sweeteners won’t dissolve like this, so if you’re not using Besti, only powdered will work.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – You need cream to make sugar free whipped cream, of course. I usually use heavy cream, but a can of full-fat coconut milk works great too if you want a dairy-free option.
- Vanilla Extract – This gives the cool whip that classic, rich flavor, but see other ideas below!
How To Make Sugar Free Whipped Cream
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.
- Combine ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Besti, and vanilla.
- Whip it. Use a mixer (I use a hand mixer) to beat the sugar free whipped cream until soft stiff peaks form.
My Recipe Tips
- I like to chill my bowl and beaters ahead of time. It helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better especially on warm days.
- Whether you’re using a stand mixer or hand mixer, the whisk attachment adds more air and gets you fluffy whipped cream faster. Beaters work too, just a bit slower.
- Halfway through, I pause and scrape the bowl. It keeps any runny cream from hiding at the bottom and messing with the final texture.
- It’s easy to overmix and end up with butter. I usually stay close and stop as soon as I see soft peaks. That’s when the texture is perfect.
- Scale it up or down. This recipe makes about 3 cups of whipped cream using 1½ cups of cream and 3 tablespoons of Besti. Just remember it’s 2 tablespoons sweetener per cup of cream if you want to adjust the batch size.
Serving Ideas
What to serve with intro.
- Fresh Fruit – Whipped cream and fresh berries are a classic combo. I love it on strawberries, raspberries, a fruit salad or whatever fruit I have around.
- Cakes, pies, and creamy desserts – This is the perfect topping for chocolate cake, angel food cake, crustless pumpkin pie, mousse, or even a simple ricotta dessert. It just makes everything feel a little more special.
- Drinks and treats – Swirl it onto sugar free hot chocolate, iced coffee, or milkshakes. I’ve even added it to a banana smoothie or pumpkin smoothie when I’m feeling extra.

Recipe Variations
Want to change it up a little? Here are some fun ways I like to customize this sugar free whipped cream depending on what I’m serving it with:
- Add different extracts – Swap the vanilla for peppermint, maple, or almond extract. I usually start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to taste. A splash of sugar free maple syrup is great too.
- Stir in spices – Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or your favorite warm spices. I’ve also used a little espresso powder for a mocha vibe. It’s so good on chocolate desserts.
- Go citrusy – Try a bit of lemon or orange zest for a light, fresh twist. I like this version with berry desserts especially.
- Make it chocolatey – Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder before whipping. It turns into chocolate whipped cream that’s rich and fluffy.
- Spike it – For grown-up treats, add a splash of bourbon, rum, or coffee liqueur. Just a teaspoon or two gives it a fun twist.

0Can I use Wholesome Yum liquid allulose in this recipe? If so, how much?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Dorothy, Yes, you can use Wholesome Yum Liquid Allulose to sweeten, as long as you don’t use too much, which can make it runny. I would start with 2 tablespoons and add more only if needed.
Laura
0Hello! I love this whipped cream. Would it be safe for dogs in moderation?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Laura, I would ask your dog’s vet, I don’t want to give the wrong answer here.
Cyndi B
0Thank you! I’ve tasted this powdered sugar replacement and it’s delish! Do you know if this particular allulose product is corn derived? Or fruit?
Blessings – Cyndi
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I’m glad you like my Besti sweeteners, Cyndi! The source of our allulose varies depending on where we can get the best quality and keep the price down for you. Sometimes this is corn, but we’re always non-GMO and in cases when it’s corn derived, there are no traces of corn in the final product (as it’s consumed during the fermentation process).
jersuerhodes
0It was delicious! Made it just as you prescribed.
Wholesome Yum D
0That’s great to hear—so happy it turned out well for you!
Susan
0I have two questions. Can the almond cake be made the night before serving? Also, can the whipped cream be made the night before?? Thank you
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Susan, Yes, you can make both recipes the night before you need them.
Teresa
0Completely yummy! And fast to make!
stephen coe
0Hi. This is a great easy recipe and often disappears before the pie. This time we are putting it on keto butternut squash pie again. I do tend to use a little less sweetener.
LJ
0This recipe sounds delicious. I am new to a low-carb eating lifestyle. It appears, a lot of work and thought went into your recipe template. I changed the serving amount to 4 servings; the ingredients updated. However, I did not see the yield update and don’t know if nutritional values are the same for my 4 servings or not, I don’t think so. I am embarrassed that I don’t know how to calculate it myself. I wonder if you could clarify how your recipes work and is the template programmed to update the yield and nutritional values when a change is made?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi LJ, Nutritional values remain the same not matter how many servings you make.
Christine
0Hi! I love your recipes and products.
If I make this and put it on your angel food cake in the morning, will it stay whipped consistency until dinner? I want to then add berries but I don’t want the cream to get runny. Thank you for your help!
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Christine, That should work for you.
Shelby
0Used coconut cream and I followed all the instructions. It never whipped into anything. I now have a nice bowl of soupy wasted ingredients.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Shelby, This recipe was tested most extensively with heavy cream, but I did test with coconut cream once as well. If yours was soupy, most likely it was because there was coconut water in there (even cans labeled “coconut cream” will have some coconut water). Next time, refrigerate the can of coconut cream overnight, then scoop out only the cream from the top. Hope this helps!
M Lethbridge
0Hi, I would love to make this for Thanksgiving this weekend, here in Canada, but I only have the monk fruit allulose crystallized blend, will that work?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0The texture might be a little grainy. However, Besti does dissolve fairly well, so it might not be too bad.
Pati
0Hi Maya, Can I use Wholesome Yum Simple Syrup rather than powered Besti? If so, how much per cup of cream?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Pati, Yes, I think you can do that! It should be the same amount, 2 tablespoons per cup of cream, but of course you can adjust to taste.
Kelli
0I can’t find the powder version of monk fruit sweetener any suggestions on what I could use instead
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Kelli, You can get Besti Powdered here or here on Amazon.
Megan
0This was over a year ago lol but making your own powdered sugar is super simple! You just put it in a food processor and process it until it’s a powder.
Janet Gomez
0This can go into the whipped cream canister that coffee shops have?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Janet, Yes, that should work.
Amy L Huntley
0SO creamy and delicious. The texture is wonderful and I love that it is sugar free too!
Kristyn
0The creamiest whipped cream!! It tastes so good & it’s so light!! We will be adding this on so many things!!
Lori
0I don’t normally leave comments on recipes but I have tried a lot of your recipes! Love them! I want to try this using unflavored protein powder. Do you think that will work?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I’m so happy you love my recipes, Lori! Thank you. This is a whipped cream recipe, so what are you trying to do with the protein powder, just add it to the cream for a protein boost? If so, I haven’t tried this, but let me know if it works for you. Or were you asking about a different recipe?
Taylor
0This recipe was SO easy and SO delicious! The absolute perfect flavor and texture. It’s definitely going to be my go-to recipe for whipped cream from now on!
Toni
0I loved this whipped cream recipe!! Thanks so much!! It is really easy to make!
Amy Stewart
0This comes out perfect every time. I just made some for my chocolate cupcakes and they are delicious!
lynn
0how can you only eat two tablespoons of whip cream ? after restricted diet this is not possible for me . and where to fit this in the day thinking about food combining ….I guess I will have a substantial portion as a meal one day…I wonder how much fat that would be at once …not worried being fat cause I need to gain weight …wondering about my organs handling do much fat at one go
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lynn, 2 tablespoons is a standard serving size for whipped cream. Feel free to adjust to fit your needs.
Chrismq
0Hi! Should I use a heavy cream or heavy whipping cream?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Chris, Either one will work. I often refer to them interchangeably in my recipes.
Rubana
0Will the Besti crystallize once you put it in the fridge? I tried using powdered erythritol and it crystallized in the fridge! It became grainy and the whipped cream had a sandy texture.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Rubana, No, it won’t crystallize. That’s one of the advantages of Besti monk fruit allulose blend over erythritol. 🙂
Nichole
0Can this be frozen?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Nichole, Yes! Dollop or pipe the cream onto a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer. Once solid, you can transfer the pieces into a freezer bag. You can place the frozen pieces onto hot drinks like cocoa, or onto desserts about 15 minutes before serving.
Robin
0How long will it last in the refrigerator?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Robin, It will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
