It depends. Mr. Esther loves Cool Whip, even the fatfree tub. Polly

Uh... No! I've never eaten Cool Whip and never would. Never let Angela
eat it either. If she wants whipped cream, she gets the real thing.

Had a neighbor who used to rave about a cake that she made that involved
Cool Whip and pink lemonade. Made me want to gag.

There are lots of people (who have never given cool whip a second
thought) that would eat it just because it's nondairy and shelf
stable.

It's not shelf stable. Recommendations on the package suggest to keep
it frozen (and that's where you'll find it in the stores).

I might if I was making something for the grandkids, just to try it. I like
to try different things, even if it's just a small taste.

Fat-free? I usta call it "grease-whip", as that's what is primarily
was. Apparently, they have changed things, somewhat:

"Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil
(including coconut and palm oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn
syrup, skim 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."

It's not fat free but they can get away with calling it that because a
serving is so small that the amount of fat in it is less than a gram.

I used to work with this gal that ate it right out of the tub. Ate an
entire tub all at once. It was the chocolate kind. Do they even make that
any more? She couldn't figure out why she was putting on weight.

Hell no. Regular Cool Whip is nasty artificial crap so the frosting
is probably similar or worse. It is easy enough to whip up the real
deal with some confectioner's sugar and butter. Yes, real butter, no
Crisco, no margarine

But it does keep for some time after defrosting as compared to real
whipped cream.

Yep. Even sprmkt bakery made cakes will use a frosting similar to
"grease-whip", as I call it. It's basically some sorta shortening and
a lotta air. Another grease-whip.

But yes, a simple butter-cream frosting is hard to beat. Butter,
pwdrd sugar, milk, vanilla. I grew up on the stuff and it was dense,
rich, and almost painfully sweet, though as a kid I didn't think so.
Usta you could buy a little box of pwdr sugar and the recipe was right
on the box. My nan usta make about 3 pan cakes per week, all topped
with food colored butter-cream frosting. Yum.

nb

I eat the fat free variety on occasion with a light dessert (say,
sliced strawberries on sugar free Angel Food cake) and it's actually
one of the better fat free products, much better than, say, fat free
mayonnaise, which I have to doctor up on a sandwich with lots of
mustard. After the double bypass I had to give up foods with the word
"Cream" in them, just as I had to give up foods that ended in
"Sausage".

I thought it looked really good in the commercial. ?? It might be
perfect if you are making your own ice cream cake, like that at DQ.

Well, pick up a tub the next time you are at the freezer section of
the supermarket, and read what is on the container. How hard is
that? You don't have to buy it to find out, and you probably go to
the supermarket now and then.

I wouldn't have any problem trying it. I don't care for regular frosting
so practically anything might be an improvement. I don't have any
problem with Cool Whip either - real whipped cream causes my guts to go
into spasms. This pretty much ruins it for me.

I always liked Cool Whip too, but don't usually have it on hand. I do
usually have cream on hand, so very easy to just make my own whipped cream.

Funny how that works. My father and two of my brothers loved whipped
cream. The other brother is not a big dessert lover but he does enjoy
eclairs filled with whipped cream. My mother never cared much for
whipping cream. I never appreciated much because I have the same
reaction that you do. My brothers still make cracks about making that
the bathroom is free after I eat anything with whipped cream.

Not likely. I don't usually eat things made of chemical components I
can't pronounce.

Luckily, I can pronounce them, and I always like to at least taste a new
product.

I'm not crazy about Cool Whip or anything. My guess is that, like a lot
of people, I buy Cool Whip only during the holidays. It's a holiday
tradition! :-)

It's the luck o' the draw. OTOH, as far as food problems goes, not being
able to digest whipped cream is just alright with me - thanks Cool Whip!
:-)

I bought the frosting and took to work. Once it thaws it is very light
and fluffy-I didnt really like the flavor or consistency. My mom always
buys fat free cool whip which I think is gross. At Thanksgiving I want
"Extra Creamy" on my slice of pumpkin pie so I buy a container and bring
it with me.

My hubby prefers Cool Whip to real whipped cream, as on Jell-O, or on a
piece of pumpkin pie, etc., and I will use it, if folding it in to other
ingredients, but not so much for a topping. Today I made a cottage
cheese salad to take to a potluck with dry Jell-O, cottage cheese,
marshmallows, fruit and Cool Whip folded together, but also made a
Butter Brickle Dessert to take and used real whipped cream on the top,
instead of the Cool Whip the recipe listed.

I'd never heard of Cool Whip frosting though..that's a new one on me,
but I'd try it, just out of curiosity.

Not if the ingredients were like those in Cool Whip. Ugh.
