I admit that I have not checked out local grocery stores for this item, however, today is the first time it has been called for in a recipe for a client. Does anyone know where I might purchase? TIA

I hate CoolWhip but there are times a stabilized cream is necessary. Stabilizing regular whipping cream will not work in 90% of the recipes calling for CoolWhip. Here is a substitute recipe.

Homemade Cool Whip

1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla


Pour the water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water, and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Place the pan over medium-low heat and stir until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once the gelatin mixture has cooled...
Place 1 tablespoon of the whipping cream and the cream of tartar in a small ziptop bag. Seal the bag and shake it until cream of tartar has dissolved completely and there are no lumps. If there are lumps, use your fingers to work them out.
Pour the cream of tartar mixture into a large bowl (the bowl of your mixer if using a stand mixer) along with the rest of the whipping cream and the sugar.
Beat with a hand mixer or the whisk attachment on a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Once cream mixture begins to slightly thicken, slowly pour in the gelatin-water while continually mixing. Add the vanilla.
Continue to mix until the cream is thick and smooth.

Are you saying that THIS recipe will not work 90% of the time? Or is this a substitute for the ones that will not?

Rule #1: Cool-Whip is not homemade. "It's as fresh as the day it left the lab!"

Lyncott makes a similar product to Cool-Whip, and it's widely available.

Cool Whip is of course a completely synthetic food product.  A recipe that calls for CoolWhip has been developed expecting the "weight" and "body" of CoolWhip.  Regular whipped cream will not have either of those characteristics which is why you would make a substitute as similar to Cool Whip characteristics as is possible. .

Thank you, Sola! I too hate using Cool Whip and am glad to have a recipe for something more "real" that will work.

I am curious, what recipes use stuff like cool Whip. I never had it so I have no clue what I would do with it.
If I want Chantilly I make it, I often get annoyed because it is easier to find the premade Chantilly than the cream.. cannot stand all this products that are factory made. How much time does it take to whip cream and add sugar and vanilla?

The recipe that calls for it is a mango pie.

I don't know because I don't use it. A friend does, though. I imagine it's called "Lyncott Crema Batida". Like I said, widely available and comes in a similar gas-powered cannister with a point and shoot button thing. You'll find it if you look.

You are thinking of Reddi-Whip, Rosa. Cool Whip comes frozen in a tub container.

Yummy

Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, and less than 2% sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as a coloring).[4] In some markets, such as Canada and the United States, Cool Whip is available in an aerosol can using nitrous oxide as a propellant. Cool Whip was formerly marketed as non-dairy, but in Jewish dietary traditions, Cool Whip was classified as dairy rather than parve (non-meat and non-dairy) because of the sodium caseinate (which is derived from milk). Cool Whip now contains milk and cream.

Huh. I guess I have no idea what Cool-Whip is, and think I'm better off for it based on the above list of ingredients. Yum! Anyway, if anybody needs "sort of whipped cream" from a convenient gas-propelled can, say on an upcoming pumpkin pie, I saw the Lyncott Crema Batida product this afternoon. The ingredients list don't look anywhere near as scary as Cool Whip, whatever that is. Provecho!

Reddi-whip is slightly better. Its ingredients are: grade A cream, grade A nonfat milk, sucrose, corn syrup, whey, mono- and diglycerides, natural and art. flavors, carraggenan.
I am guessing Lyncott´s is similar.

The Lyncott list of ingredients didn't look spooky at all. Only a couple of science words.

I wanted to explain to Brigette what Cool Whip is and why it has a place in the hearts of some Americans. I realized I could not. So, I turned to Senor Google and found this:

Ha! That was a great article . My favorite part:
" Whipped cream and Cool Whip are similar in that they both contain air. "
