If you would like a sweeter whipped cream, add more sugar substitute. You can also reduce the amount of artificial sugar if you prefer a less sweet version. In other words, adjust just as if you were using "regular" sugar.

For a yummy twist, try different extracts such as almond or mint in your whipped cream. You can also add a tablespoon or two of unsweetened chocolate powder if you love chocolate. Just add the chocolate powder when you add in the "sugar." If your diet allows a little cheating, get rid of the vanilla and add a tablespoon of bourbon or dark rum.
