Healthy Whipped Cream

With only 5 calories per tablespoon, this is a great healthy whipped cream you can prepare yourself. Prepare this whipped cream substitute just before serving, as the mixture deflates rather quickly. You can speed up the process by having the ingredients pre-measured and ready to go. 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup skim milk 
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder 
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 
4 teaspoons lemon juice 
2 teaspoons sugar (optional) 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) 

Directions:

1. Put the skim milk in a small metal bowl, set in the freezer, and let stand just until ice crystals begin to form-about 1S minutes. 

2. Remove from the freezer and add the dry milk powder and cream of tartar. With a hand electric mixer, whip the mixture at high speed until foamy. 

3. Beat in 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and continue beating until the mixture begins to thicken. Beat in another teaspoon of the lemon juice and, if desired, the sugar, and continue beating until the mixture peaks softly. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice and continue whipping to stiff peaks. Fold in the vanilla extract, if desired, and serve immediately as a dessert topping. 

Makes 2 cups.
Preparation: 25 min., including 15 min. refrigeration
