Or, as my kiddo called it when he was a toddler, “whooped cream”. I usually make a pumpkin roll or a pecan pie.

Either home made or in one of those squirt cans. I am lactose intolerant, but there is no substitute for the real stuff

In flavor to the real thing, I think.

Cool whip is like guar gum mixed with air.
And of course a lot of sugar...

Either way enjoy! (I know lots of people like cool whip...just find it tastes artificial.)

And for this week, taking pies to a dinner two plus hours away also makes real impractical. I can carry a pie and a can of RediWhip and each person can dose their slice as they wish.

But here at home, I am NOT whipping real cream up for two servings at a time!

Trader Joe’s has a non dairy version of Reid-whip in a can also that is good.

But in a pinch, Redi-whip. Otherwise, like for apple or berry pie, it's Wilcoxson's vanilla ice cream.

It had no taste, so I added salt. Do you add sugar to the whipping cream. Never made it myself for pies.

If I weren't low carb, I'd make it with heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. I learned about using powdered sugar when I worked in a local restaurant kitchen. Makes a nice texture.

You'd have to look for a recipe, because I don't measure.

Be sure to stop whipping it before it turns into butter. I did that once when I was a kid. lol

did look like whipped cream. I put the lid back on and we continued to pass around the room. This is the first time I realized that it was whhipped cream, then the next stage would be the butter. Thank you. Marthe.

I have heavy whipping cream on hand. My old cat gets a little twice a day. If I want a low carb treat, I'll make some homemade whipped cream with my own vanilla extract, and some Monk Fruit sweetener. I love the texture, and I wish I didn't!

I don't buy RediWhip, too tempting, but I get lite whipped topping, also a treat.
