![]() I received an email recipe from ATK, which was for the well-known strawberry gelatin salad with a pretzel crust. Without stating the product they were calling "fake," their recipe included dairy whipped cream. I am sure the easy recipe called for Cool Whip, not genuine whipped cream. It was the only component which could have been a substitute for something else. The rest of the recipe had genuine strawberries, genuine plain gelatin, and genuine pretzels. But since when is an ingredient called "fake" without defining what it is a substitute for? An ingredient is an ingredient. It was sloppy editing to refer to Cool Whip as a fake ingredient without defining what their "real" ingredient was. Don't you agree? Or am I being exceptionally cranky.... N. |

My point wasn't the choice between dairy and non-dairy, it was the use of the word "fake"
when talking about ingredients. Ingredients are real. They should have said fake whipped cream, but they didn't. Like I say, it was bad editing. N. |

![]() Regardless of whether you use dairy whipped cream or Cool Whip, this salad is very good. Sorry for the line lengths. Strawberry Salad with Pretzel Crust (ATK) 6 1/2 ounces pretzel sticks 2 1/4 cups (15 3/4 ounces) sugar 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 8 ounces cream cheese 1 cup heavy cream 3 pounds (10 1/2 cups) frozen strawberries, thawed 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup cold water 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 13 by 9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Pulse pretzels and ¼ cup sugar in food processor until coarsely ground, about 15 pulses. Add melted butter and pulse until combined, about 10 pulses. Transfer pretzel mixture to prepared pan. Using bottom of measuring cup, press crumbs into bottom of pan. Bake until crust is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Set aside crust, letting it cool slightly, about 20 minutes. 2. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream cheese and ½ cup sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and, with mixer still running, slowly add cream in steady stream. Continue to whip until soft peaks form, scraping down bowl as needed, about 1 minute longer. Spread whipped cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minute3. Meanwhile, process 2 pounds strawberries in now-empty food processor until pureed, about 30 seconds. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer set over medium saucepan, using underside of small ladle to push puree through strainer. Add remaining 1½ cups sugar and salt to strawberry puree in saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until bubbles begin to appear around sides of pan and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. 3. Meanwhile, process 2 pounds strawberries in now-empty food processor until pureed, about 30 seconds. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer set over medium saucepan, using underside of small ladle to push puree through strainer. Add remaining 1½ cups sugar and salt to strawberry puree in saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until bubbles begin to appear around sides of pan and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. 4. Sprinkle gelatin over water in large bowl and let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Whisk strawberry puree into gelatin. Slice remaining strawberries and stir into strawberry-gelatin mixture. Refrigerate until gelatin thickens slightly and starts to cling to sides of bowl, about 30 minutes. Carefully pour gelatin mixture evenly over whipped cream cheese layer. Refrigerate salad until gelatin is fully set, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Serve. |

Thanks, saved. I made the original recipe once and it was far tastier
than it sounds - but I've always wanted to try it with "real" ingredients. ``````````````````` On Fri, 21 Aug 2015 05:48:49 -0700 (PDT), Nancy2 > wrote: > > Regardless of whether you use dairy whipped cream or Cool Whip, this salad > is very good.

I was halfway out the door when I realized the mistake. The door hadn't even had time to close behind me when I went back in to get the right cigarettes. Had to wait behind a few other people at the cash register but when I got there he said they have a policy that once you leave the store you cannot return or exchange anything.

Pretendy cream? Imitation whipped cream. Ingredients: 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 You buy it frozen, and let it defrost before serving. I haven't had any in a very, very long time. I recall it had a somewhat metallic flavor and a greasy mouthfeel. And it was sweet as hell.

They don't care about the food snobs here in rfc, a small minority for sure. I happen to like it better than real whipped cream. I occasionally buy the "extra creamy cool whip." Actually, I buy the generic version for less. Once a year? Yeah, I like it and I don't care what's in it. To call it crap is like Bryan calling mayo, subway bread, and several other products crap. Yet he ate out of a dumpster for a time in his life. |
