Try Dairy Free Whipped Cream To Make Fast Sweet Treats

By Ryan Phillips


When it comes to dieting, most people find sweet and salty foods the hardest to give up. For some, it can take a certain amount of bravery to try dietary alternatives. In the past, a lot of dietetic versions of guilty pleasures tasted like a science experiment gone wrong. While that caloric and fat content were on the lower side, so was being palatable. However, many things like dairy free whipped cream have come a long way.

Making dessert can be very simple as long as there are a few key ingredients within reach. A couple of these would be instant oatmeal, raisins, and unsweetened applesauce. Instant pudding is also a good staple to have around, as it can also be used to top cakes or mixed in for moisture. Recipes like brown betty or a quick apple bake call for these or the applesauce may be enjoyed as a fat free option.

While almond, oat, and rice milk are very popular, cashew and coconut varieties give the best texture, due to its dense texture. There are also recipes made from tofu or soy but those looking to drop a few pounds by converting to a plant diet may want to consult a physician. The reason is that soy isoflavones can change the hormonal balance of some women and make it harder to lose weight.

Many people who grew up with nondairy whipped topping products may have looked like it was made from cream, but the taste said differently. These products, while convenient due to its being able to store for months at a time, were loaded with oils and preservatives. Even though there were versions that were labeled fat free, the chemical taste remained.

Besides the nut cream in condensed form, some recipes call for adding maple syrup or raw agave nectar, along with a little vanilla extract. Mixing in cocoa powder is great for topping cake or other dessert. People who make this topping may add their own spin on it by adding ground cinnamon, citrus peel, or vanilla.

For those who have leftover whipped cream, it can be made into a faux ice cream popsicle. Just add a packet of flavored gelatin or hot cocoa mix and stir until even. Place inside small containers that can withstand extreme cold. If there are no popsicle sticks to use, pouring inside a space ice tray with toothpicks is a good idea. Thaw slightly for softness or eat right out of the freezer.

Besides using cream to top cakes, puddings, and pies, these can also be enjoyed alone. One way is to make a low fat frozen treat like mock cream popsicles. This can be achieved by mixing in a flavored gelatin packet and stirring to desired consistency. Then place into individual containers before placing inside the freezer. While plain nondairy milk products cannot be frozen, these will keep for up to two months.

While some may pass on dessert for a number of reasons, there is nothing with having a sweet treat once in a while. Calorie conscious individuals may find dietetic versions of their favorites in most books and magazines. There are also online demonstrations that show how to make homemade desserts in a matter of minutes. Making dishes at home is also a good way to give old classics a personalized touch.
