I think everyone is overthinking it - they are talking about Cool Whip. Yes
its full of chemicals but thats what they are calling for. Substituting
something else may not work for that very reason - all those artificial
agents make it very stable and give it properties that real cream does not
have.

They didn't say Cool Whip because its a name brand.
