MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The U.S. is facing a not so sweet shortage of canned whipped cream!

Nitrous oxide, which is used in aerosol cans of whipped cream, is in short supply because of an explosion at a nitrous oxide plant in Florida.

Some coffee chains have already cut back on whipped cream in some drinks and ConAgra has had to "stop all production" of Reddi-Wip in North America until it can locate more supplies.
