I can honestly say I’ve never turned down Reddi-wip®, whether it’s been offered to me on ice cream, pie, hot chocolate, whatever.
So you can bet I wasn’t going to turn down a chance to write about it.
When I asked Michael to think about a way to use it creatively, he looked at me for a while, reminding me that I had been a publicist for the movie, 9 ½ Weeks, back in the day.
Ha ha ha! And, uh, no.
Our assignment, in honor of Reddi-Wip®’s #BerryJoyfulSweeps (which you should definitely enter so you can win a trip to the California Strawberry Festival), was to come up with a refreshing, summery way to combine Reddi-wip® and berries.
There are a ton of mouth-watering recipes on the Reddi-wip® website but, since we really don’t cook, the idea of buying a box of frozen crepes, defrosting and heating them, was intriguing enough for us. So we headed to the grocery store, bought a big tub of strawberries, a smaller one of blackberries (for Michael) and a box of frozen crepes. The hardest part was deciding between Original, Extra Creamy or Chocolate Reddi-wip® but, because we’re purists, we stuck with the Original. I do think I’ll be going back for a can of Chocolate, though, because it’s just too tempting.
We rushed through dinner so we could get to dessert, and my daughter and I cut up the berries (and snuck a few dollops of Reddi-wip®) while Michael whipped up the crepes.
He loaded them with berries and Reddi-wip®, folded them up and then packed on a whole second layer on the outside.
YUM!
They were so delicious, we finished them before we ever even sat down.
Over the next couple of days, we polished off the berries and Reddi-wip® – trust me, it’s very easy to get your fruit requirements when you’ve got a can of Reddi-wip® at your fingertips – and never even missed the crepes. I also didn’t miss the guilt, which is totally unnecessary thanks to the scant 15 calories in each serving of Reddi-wip®. Plus, Reddi-wip® has always been made of real dairy cream unlike some of those other toppings which contain hydrogenated oils.
I feel good that I’ve found my healthy, low-calorie go-to snack for the summer. I’m thinking maybe I should try topping those pesky brussel sprouts with Reddi-wip®, too.

Now that sounds fabulous! Reddi-wip and fruit = yummy dessert that leaves you satisfied and guilt- free.
What could be better, right?!
You got me all whipped up with this one!
Ha!
I haven’t made crepes in a while. Thanks for the nudge.
Post pictures if you make some!
That looks suspiciously close to cooking going on in your kitchen Lois! Love this!
If everything was as easy and delicious as these were, we’d be “cooking” all the time!
My dog hears the squirt and begs for some. He loves the stuff, too!
This just makes me smile… I still remember checking out of a grocery store with an old fling, we were buying ice cream and Reddi-wip when he said to the checker in a rather booming voice, “Bet you can’t guess what we are going to go do!!!” I honestly thought I was going to die right then, the entire line (as well as the ones to either side) all looked at ME. The checker simply responded by telling him the amount due, and he just laughed. I am certain I was crimson!
And you know, when you eat standing up, there are no calories!!!!
I have some stories about Reddi- wip and similar products which are best left untold!
I always have a can of that available in my house. It’s the perfect topper to just about everything!
I love Reddi Whip…especially when I am squirting it right from the can into my mouth 😉
This Stuff Is Great Isn’t It My Kids Love To Put Their Mouth On The Can & Spray Grama Taught Them That One, Thanks For The Awesome Giveaway Too@!
My husband is obsessed with strawberries and ready whip! Such a great combo for sweetness
That looks delish plus always fun to eat.
I love this! I have my own little love affair going on with Reddi Wip!
My kids love Redid Whip. I have to hide it when we have it because they will eat the whole bottle, plain.
Reddi wip is just one of those products that make people happy. From hot chocolate to ice cream sundaes the more the better.
looks like a nice simple dessert, my kids love when I have them open their mouths and spray it in! LOL!
My mother in law puts Reddi Whip on everything and in turn got me hooked! LOVE it with berries!
My son loves to spray this on everything. We go through it pretty quickly.
I enjoy redid-wip and strawberries as well. Its so tasty and refreshing
I have Reddi-Wip on my coffee every morning. EVERY morning. My kids don’t sleep (like, ever) so it’s a must to get me out of bed sometimes!
We love Reddi-Whip in our house! Even the cats line up for their morning spray as I top off my coffee. I like I can top berries with it for the kids desserts and not feel guilty.
The problem I hae with ReddiWhip is that my kids always sneak into the fridge and eat it up before dessert.
oh lol I love ReddiWhip too with fruit but my favorite is over chocolate pudding yummy
I love Reddi Whip. I get caught by hubby all the time just taking mouthfuls, worse than the kids.
I love strawberries in my dessert!!! And Reddi-Wip is certainly an added bonus! YUM! I also like to use it in my Death by Chocolate dessert!
Fresh fruit and whipped cream… two ingredients to enhance any summer experience!
Too funny! Reddi-wip is a favorite around here, no food required. And 9-1/2 Weeks took me waaay back. Bet you had loads of fun doing PR for the movie!
I love reddi whip on everything! Coffee, fruit, you name it! Just makes everything better!
This for this simple, yet nutritious meal post. We sub whip cream for syrup because it’s better and so few calories.
I too am a Reddi Whip lover. Your strawberry dessert looks delicious. Yesterday at the market I found some excellent strawberries. I bought a angel cake to go with and 2 cans of Reddi Whip. Dessert just would not be dessert without Reddi Whip.
Mmm..that looks amazing!
(you have a beautiful kitchen too)
I just picked up some strawberries yesterday I wonder if we have any left….
2 things:
First, 9 1/2 Weeks? I learn something new about you all the time!! That’s a story I’d love to hear!
Second, how to eat Reddi-Wip® in just a few easy, no-mess steps:
1 – Shake can and remove the red barrier between you and whipped perfection in a can.
2 – Tilt head slightly backwards.
3 – Unhinge jaw.
4 – Squirt as much into your gaping maw as humanly possible.
Best done sitting in a corner growling like a wild, starved dog at anyone who tries to take it from you. Helps if you snap “My preshisssshhhh” when said person gets too close.
No utensils, no need to get all messy and bake something first or risk brain freeze from the ice cream. Ta Da!!

Ha! Love it, and we will have so much to discuss when we finally get together! xo
