In 2017, Trader Joe’s launched a Coconut Whipped Topping as a seasonal item. It was pulled from the shelves due to a defective can, and didn’t return. But Trader Joe’s finally emerged with a new dairy-free whipped cream, this time with a “Sweet Rose” label and “made with real coconut cream” clearly noted. So my pictures below are not exact (see the photo by the ingredients for the current packaging), but Trader Joe’s Sweet Rose Coconut Whipped Topping is reportedly the same whip otherwise. And it is expected to be a “permanent” item. At least for now …

This spray whipped topping is sold refrigerated, near the other dairy alternatives at Trader Joe’s. If you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, have no fear. It’s actually Gay Lea Real Coconut Whipped Topping, which can be found at other grocers in the U.S. and Canada. And yes, it is dairy-free – no caseinates to be found! The ingredients and nutrition facts below are for both Sweet Rose and Gay Lea (same product, different name).

Tasting Notes for Trader Joe’s Sweet Rose Coconut Whipped Topping

Before this week, I’d honestly never tried a spray whipped cream of any kind. So I don’t have anything to compare Trader Joe’s Coconut Whipped Topping to. However, Tony proclaimed “they did a good job.” He said it reminded him a lot of dairy whip from a spray can, but coconut-y.

I really liked the ease of use, the flawless application, and the very creamy consistency. I thought it had a nice smooth and rich consistency. It was also perfectly sweet without being overly sugary. However, I did think the aftertaste reflected the more processed ingredients. It tasted a little “chemical,” for lack of a better word, and had a somewhat waxy finish. But Tony clarified that it’s very similar to products like Reddi-Whip. And I did think it was a nice finish atop hot cocoa.

This whipped topping does a fairly good job of holding it’s shape, but it does slowly start to melt within a few minutes at warmer room temperatures. So I recommend spraying it on just before serving.
