Guilt-less Desserts & Treats for your Family
Cherry Whipped Cream (Dairy Free)
Sometimes you stumble upon good things by accident.
A new favourite restaurant that you just happened to go to as your ‘normal’ wasn’t open; a hilarious TV show that you only watched because the remote was too far way and you couldn’t be bothered leaving the couch; or a new favourite variety of cream that came about because a comedy of errors, a love for Whipped Coconut Cream that borders on dependence and a stubbornness that would rival that of a mule.
What ever the reason, accidental Cherry Whipped Cream is delicious. It can be eaten as a cream or mousse or used in this amazing Ripple Cake.
