Whipped Cream Substitute

By Ruth

Beating a ripe banana and an egg white together makes an inexpensive substitute for whipped cream.

Do you use a hard boiled egg white or a uncooked egg white.

Editor's Note: An uncooked egg white.

Salmonella gets into the egg when it is formed, so the white is just as likely to be infected as the yolk.

Reply to the posted comment by charlotte about the worry over salmonella by using the egg white uncooked in "Whipped Cream Substitute". This raises a thought. Does the egg white ever contain the salmonella or isn't the yoke the only area you would find it?
Egg whites alone are safe.

RE: Whipped Cream Substitute

Since whipped cream is not cooked the egg is not cooked to destroy any potential salmonella bacteria. That seems like a high risk substitute to me. ~Charlotte

Editor's Note: Good point Charlotte. If you add a few drops of vanilla, the alcohol will retard the growth of salmonella. Whenever working with eggs, make sure you eat the items fresh and keep refrigerated.
