• 1/2 cup ice cold water
• 3/4 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/2 cup instant skim milk powder
• 11/2 tsps. liquid sweetener (or more to taste)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla (or more to taste)

1. In a small bowl, combine water and lemon juice. Add milk powder.
2. Using electric mixer, beat on low speed to moisten, then beat at high speed until light and fluffy (you can hold a tea towel over everything to avoid splattering).
3. Beat in sweetener and vanilla.
4. Makes about 3 cups

When you need whipping cream and don't have any in the house and can't go out you might have these ingredients to make do on your own.
