How to Make Whipped Topping

  1. Place a large metal mixing bowl and beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup dry milk powder and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to fully hydrate.
  3. Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Add the refrigerated milk mixture to the chilled bowl and beat on high speed for 4 minutes, until soft peaks form.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and continue beating on high speed for another 4-5 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of your preferred sugar substitute. Gradually add the sugar mixture to the whipped milk while beating on medium-high speed until fully incorporated.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This topping is best used fresh, as it will lose volume over time.
  7. Spread generously over your favorite pies, or use as a garnish for puddings, gelatins, and more!
