4. 4
   Put the blender container in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or just until the mixture starts to thicken a bit.
5. 5
   Add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream, and process in the blender just long enough to mix it all in, about 10 to 15 seconds.
6. 6
   Pour into 5 or 6 pretty little dessert cups and chill in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
7. 7
   With an electric mixer or by hand, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of cream with the vanilla and sugar substitute.

   Top each cup with a dollop if whipped cream.
