Cool Whip

[Nazkaz]

S there anything I can use instead of cool whip for a dessert recipe

[DaveSoMD]

You can make whipped cream and use that. Is this to be used as a topping or as part of the recipe to mix in with other ingredients?

[Nazkaz]

Thanks DavesoMD I will give that a go

[jennyema]

Cool whip is made from shortening, corn syrup, water and chemicals. No one should eat that stuff.

[Nazkaz]

Oh ok thanks Jennyema for the information! I live in the UK and found a dessert recipe that had cool whip in! We don't get it in the UK!

[jennyema]

You are for the better!

[Siegal]

Never trust a recipe that calls for cool whip

I know it is horrible fake stuff, but I love it.

Yeah like Dave said, whipped cream will be your best substitute.

I haven't had cool whip in a while, but it far "outperforms" the stuff in the can. Especially on pumpkin pie. Just sayin'. Give me tub or give me death.

I refuse to eat the stuff. It tastes greasy in my mouth.
