How to Make Mock Whipped Cream Substitute

  1. In a chilled bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder until fully dissolved. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
  2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the chilled mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and continue beating on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar while beating on low speed. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for another minute to incorporate the sugar fully and achieve a smooth, airy consistency.
