Keto Desserts with Heavy Whipping Cream

If you get serious sugar cravings from time to time, you might think that staying in ketosis will be a huge challenge. No carbs or sugar? How are you going to treat yourself? 

Let me tell you that the ketogenic diet still lets you satisfy your sweet cravings! There is a variety of keto-friendly desserts you can make at home. For instance, keto whipped cream, a staple in many keto desserts, can be dressed up in endless ways without ruining your diet! 

Check out how you can make your own keto-friendly whipped cream with good quality grass-fed heavy cream and check out these different keto desserts with heavy whipping cream you can make to satisfy your sweet tooth! 

How to Make Keto Whipped Cream 

The main ingredient in the keto desserts we’ll be sharing with you is none other than keto whipped cream. If you want your whipped cream to be neutral and creamy, grass-fed heavy cream and a keto-friendly sweetener are all you need.  

You might also want to add a splash of pure vanilla extract for a subtle yet richer flavor. Don’t use artificially flavored since it is made of wood byproducts that contain harmful chemicals. You may also find imitation vanilla as having a harsh quality and bitter aftertaste. 

To make the whipped cream, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to a clean and dry mixing bowl or stand mixer. Then, mix on high for 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form.  

With the mixer on medium speed, slowly add your keto-friendly sweetener of choice and whip until stiff peaks form. Taste and adjust the sweetener as desired. 

A teaspoon of liquid stevia is usually recommended for this recipe, especially for those who experience digestive distress, but many sugar-free sweeteners are suitable for keto too! 

If stevia is too bitter for you, you can use erythritol or monk fruit. They are not 100% carb-free, so pay attention to your total carb count per day. You can swap any of the three at a 1:1 ratio.

Benefits of Grass-Fed Heavy Cream 

When incorporating dairy products in your keto diet, remember that not all dairy is created equal. That means not all dairy is acceptable for your dessert. That is why we highly recommend using grass-fed heavy cream for your whipped cream. 

Its health benefits are greater than the benefits of the standard heavy cream. Here are some of them. 

Brain Function Improvement 

Grass-fed cows give the richest source of choline and omega-3 fatty acids. Choline helps in making your memory function, mood stability, muscle control, and overall nervous system healthy.  

Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory compounds that help boost brain function and cardiovascular health. 

Unpasteurized 

Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to kill bacteria. Although this helps increase the shelf life of milk, it also kills the good bacteria that are good for the gut. Grass-fed cream or milk is usually raw and contains the following: 

• Lactoferrin 
• Anti-microbial components 
• Antibodies 
• Good bacteria 
• B12 binding proteins 
• immunoglobulins 

Vitamins and Minerals 

Grass-fed heavy cream is richer in vitamins and minerals than conventional dairy because cows are eating a natural diet of green grass, changing the quality of the milk produced.  

Grass-fed dairy is specifically rich in vitamins A and D which offer antioxidants to help boost your overall health. Vitamin A aids in fighting infections and enhancing eye health, while vitamin D is crucial for a healthy immune system and hormonal development.
