Friendly Farms Whipped Dairy Topping
EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2025.
I love homemade whipped cream, which is very easy to make. In a pinch, I’m also fond of whipped cream in a can. It’s convenient and tasty, and there is something satisfying about pushing the nozzle and spraying a sweet, creamy cloud on top of your pie or ice cream. My family also likes to dress up a simple bowl of berries or other fruit with a little whipped topping.
Aldi sells canned whipped topping as a Regular Buy, so it’s on shelves year round. You’ll find it stocked in the refrigerator case near the milk, milk alternatives, and coffee creamers. This is my go-to when I need whipped cream in a can.
Friendly Farms Whipped Dairy Topping cost $2.99 for a 13-ounce can in 2025. That’s up slightly from $2.89 for a 13-ounce can when I first wrote about it in 2019. It’s more than a dollar cheaper than a same-sized can of Reddi-wip from Walmart.
The Aldi whipped topping is advertised as Grade A, ultra-pasteurized, sweetened, and “made with real cream.” The can I bought in September of 2025 listing a best by date of March of 2026.
The can lists three different processing plant numbers. When I entered the numbers into www.whereismymilkfrom.com, the result is Saputo Dairy Foods USA LLC plant locations in California, Kentucky, and New York.
Ingredients are cream, milk, sugar, water, corn syrup, nonfat milk, and less than 1% of mono and diglycerides, carrageenan, natural flavor, and propellant (nitrous oxide).
If you’re looking out for allergens, this contains milk. This is kosher.
One can contains 74 2-tablespoon servings (but who really uses only 2 tablespoons?!). One serving has 10 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat (1% of your daily value), no saturated fat or sodium, 1 gram of total carbohydrates, no dietary fiber, 1 gram of added sugars (2% DV), and no protein.
To serve, remove the pull tab from the tamper-evident cap to open the can. Shake the can gently. Turn the can completely upside down and press the nozzle sideways. The directions state to rinse the nozzle thoroughly when you’re done serving it, and then return the can to the refrigerator.
Because the can’s contents are under pressure, the directions also state not to store it in temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and do not puncture or incinerate the can.
The Verdict:
Friendly Farms Whipped Dairy Topping is an easy, convenient, and delicious option if you don’t have time to make homemade whipped cream. Perfect on top of pie, cobbler, ice cream, milkshakes, or any dessert.
I’m French and let’s just say that la Crème Chantilly, the real name of this French invention, is anything but important in our culture. I tried every brand around (except Costco’s) even the fancy ones and this Aldi whipped cream is the closest thing I found in the States that is similar to the real deal. It saves me a lot of time 🙂
I have used several cans of Whipped Dairy Topping and found it to very tasty. The last can I bought was used once on one piece of pie. A week later when I tried to use it, it had gone flat, the pressure was completely out. sell by date is 11/28/20. This was the first time that has happened but the fact that it did happen makes me question whether to chance it on more purchases of this product. How often does this happen?
This is a delicious product and I have used it for years!
I bought 3 cans of the Friendly Farms Pumpkin Spice coconut whipped topping and after only 3 uses it didn’t work anymore. All 3 cans stopped –
WAISTED MONEY
We bought the coconut Friendly Farms non dairy whipped topping last week. After following directions on can, it just doesn’t work. Very disappointed. Please advise!
Thank you.
That seems to be a common problem. We’d recommend returning it to Aldi for a refund.
