Whipped Cream

Finding a DF whip cream was quite the challenge - from trying to find substitutes to cook with, to just wanting to enjoy a dollop of whipped cream on a dessert. And I think I found a really good solution for both!

Rich's RichWhip Non-Dairy Topping

Rich's can be found in the frozen section of your grocery store. This was purchased at Bylery's but it looks like they are sold at Cub as well. The trial for this was to see if we could use it for strawberry shortcake. Look at how well it whipped up!

We added a little bit of powdered sugar and vanilla and it was perfect. Even for those of us who can eat dairy, it's still delicious. I haven't tried this product in any other recipes yet, but I think it will be a very good substitution for heavy whipping cream or half and half.

They do make another product called Coffee Rich Creamer. Kristie and I did a test to see if this one would make whipped cream. After almost 15 minutes of using the electric beater and still only seeing bubbles, it was deemed a failure. However this product might also be a good substitute for recipes that call for cream.
