Around the holidays, whipped cream is something that seems to find itself hanging around the kitchen quite a bit. From topping tons of delicious pies to put a generous helping on a steaming mug of rich hot chocolate, this light and airy creamy topping can be used in so many ways.
Unfortunately, whipped cream, especially whipped topping that comes in those large tubs, are filled with chemicals, artificial flavors, fillers, and preservatives. Thankfully, there are some great organic and non-GMO options on the market if you know what to look for in the supermarket!
Let’s take a peek at the best organic and non-GMO whipped cream brands, so you can get to eating all of those yummy treats with a little less worry.

Truwhip contains far fewer ingredients than its conventional counterpart and they do not use any toxic ingredients.

Homemade Whipped Cream
When in doubt about the ingredients in whipped cream you buy at the store, making your own whipped cream at home could not be any simpler. Whipped cream takes three easy to find ingredients:
- Organic heavy whipping cream
- Organic powdered sugar
- Organic vanilla extract
The keys to making fluffy whipped cream are to ensure your heavy whipping cream is icy cold straight from the fridge and your bowl and whisk as also chilled. This will make the whipped cream come together quickly and ensure fluffy pillowy peaks. You can also make you whipped cream however sweet you want. You can opt for super sweet to completely unsweetened!
The only way you can screw up making whipped cream at home is to overwhip it because it will turn into butter. Although, we don’t think that’s a total fail anyway!
