Sometimes, we just need to add something with a little fruity tang to our whipped cream...just me? This Raspberry Whipped Cream Topping is a really fun twist on traditional whipped cream creations, or even traditional cake frosting!


When pulsing the dried raspberries in your food processor, spice grinder, or blender, keep in mind that some seeds will still escape and can be a bit hard when you bite down on them. You can sift the raspberry powder to eliminate as many as possible.


I love that this whipped topping is both sweet and tangy - a delicious pairing that can be used as a dip or frosting substitute. Though not exactly diet-friendly, this topping is a great alternative to preservative-filled options on many grocery store shelves AND is stabilized to last longer with the addition of cornstarch. If you are a Cool Whip fan, you can substitute the cream, sugar, and cornstarch.


The red specks of raspberry are fun for the holidays, too!

Used as a frosting on a lower-calorie chocolate raspberry cake. It was delicious!

Tips
  • Even dried raspberries can allow a few seeds to escape without getting pulverized to a fine powder. It can help to sift the powder after blending the dried raspberries.
