Cool Whip is a wonderful product that comes in many flavours and can be
added to anything. It tastes just like whipped cream. My kids used to
take popcicles and dip them in Cool Whip for treats the same with cookies.
You can add it to any recipe that calls for whipped cream (that has no
taste and lots of fat and cholesterol) it doesn't melt or fade away and
can be added to a 1 pound box of powdered sugar for a great frosting.
