How to Make Low Fat Whipped Cream Substitute

  1. Chill: Pour 1 cup of cold milk into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Watch closely; you'll want to see ice crystals forming around the edges (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. Bloom Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Dissolve Gelatin: Place the bowl of gelatin and water in a saucepan filled with about 1 inch of hot water. Let it sit until the gelatin is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from hot water and stir until cool.
  4. Whip the Milk: Remove the chilled milk from the freezer. Beat the milk with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Incorporate Sweetener & Oil: Gradually add 1/4 cup of Splenda (or your preferred sweetener) and 1 tablespoon of oil (like canola or vegetable) while continuing to beat.
  6. Fold in Gelatin: Gently fold in the cooled gelatin mixture until everything is well combined and stiff peaks form.
  7. Chill & Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to fully set. Before serving, stir gently to loosen if needed.
