Hi everyone,

Im in Tasmania, I was just reading a recipe in one of the other forums which sounded good, it called for cool whip, do we have an equivelant?

Rose

its either cheese or cream in a can...lol,,i think its the canned cream,,
you know the stuff, think its called ``whip`` or something like that,,,, unless its cool shaving cream..lol tastes about the same to me,,LOL,,,good luck

Thanks Rachael,

I thought it might be whipped cream in a can, but wasnt sure.

I will give it a try, or perhaps I could just whip some cream *lol*

Yes, it's whipped cream + sugar and I think some yucky trans fats in a can. So you'd be much better off using ordinary old home whipped cream.
I suspect the stuff we can buy in a can is also full of sugar and other junk. Doesn't taste nearly as good as plain whipped cream.

Actually "Cool Whip" is edible oil products plus sugar plus preservatives. Not a speck or drop of cream as far as I can remember.
Blechhhhhhhh!

hmmmm,,,,yummmo,,,,, NOT!
Kinda like meat pies here,,, 100% beef but no actual `beef `in it more like the bits of the cow you never thought you could eat.......
I still eat them but,,,,
LOL....
