How to recreate canned whipped cream from scratch

restaurant-mimicrywhipped-cream

I tried by using two quarts of heavy cream, two cups of sugar and a spoon of honey and mixed it all together but I feel like it's missing something to the flavor.

I'm trying to create something similar to what you get out of a can of whipped cream. Reddi-whip to be exact.

These are the ingredients: Nonfat milk, cream, sugar, corn syrup, maltodextrin, inulin (chicory extract), cellulose, mono- and diglycerides polysorbate 80, artificial flavors, carrageenan.

Can someone explain what these are: (maltodextrin, inulin (chicory extract), cellulose, mono- and diglycerides polysorbate 80, artificial flavors, carrageenan)

Sigh, I was trying to avoid answering this, but feel compelled to provide some information after all your revisions. I'm answering only this part of the question:

Can someone explain what these are: (maltodextrin, inulin (chicory extract), cellulose, mono- and diglycerides polysorbate 80, artificial flavors, carrageenan)

Let's break that down:

  • maltodextrin is a sweetener
  • inulin is also a sweetener
  • cellulose is a fiber (wood, basically) used as a stabilizer
  • mono- and diglycerides are emulsifiers, that make the cream smoother
  • polysorbate 80 another emulsifier
  • carrageenan algae, also a stabilizer

Now, "artificial flavors" could literally mean anything, which is a big challenge for your recreation experiment. Not only does it not say which flavors they've added, the formula may be a trade secret.
