How to Make Mock Cream Whipped Cream Substitute

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of vegetable shortening, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer (or vigorously by hand) until the mixture is light, fluffy, and resembles whipped cream. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Be patient – it will come together!
  3. If the mixture curdles during beating, continue mixing until smooth. The texture will improve as you beat.
  4. Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer to a piping bag or bowl and use as a topping or filling for your favorite desserts.
