Lower-Fat Whipped Topping

COOK TIME
5 Min

Yes, a lot of us are weight-conscious, but who says we can't enjoy a treat once in a while, especially something that's lower in fat? This is the new trick for getting a lowfat substitute for whipped cream. Give it a try and see what you think.

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup evaporated skimmed milk
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

  1. Pour the evaporated milk into a small glass bowl. Along with beaters, chill the evaporated milk in the freezer for about an hour, or until ice crystals form around the edge of the bowl. (It's okay if it freezes slightly.)

  2. Beat on high for about 1 minute or until very frothy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla; continue beating for 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Use immediately.

              Makes 3 to 4 cups.

Notes

This is a great way to enjoy whipped topping that's lower in fat and calories than the regular ... but be sure to make it right before serving so that it holds together.
