FAQ
Can I make this dairy‑free?
Yes—use coconut cream (just the solid part) in place of heavy cream. It whips beautifully and adds a subtle tropical flavor.
Do I have to use protein powder?
No. If you skip it, you’ll need extra powdered monkfruit sweetener or arrowroot flour to help the whipped topping thicken properly.
How do I make the pink lemonade version?
Mix freeze‑dried raspberries with a little water to create a deep pink liquid, then add it to your lemonade and/or whipped topping until you reach your desired color.
Can I make the whipped topping ahead of time?
Yes—prepare it and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If it softens, re‑whip for 20–30 seconds.
What if my whipped topping isn’t thickening?
Chill your bowl again and add 1–2 tablespoons of arrowroot flour to help it firm up.
