What is cool whip made of? Is it a substitute for cream?

Hi Jen,
The Banana/Nilla Wafer thingy is a variant of the American 'Banana Cream
Pie'. Banana Cream pie is a baked bottom pie crust filled with a custard
with sliced bananas incorporated into it and topped with meringue. I see no
reason why you couldn't make your own Southern Hemisphere variation. Hope
this helps and have fun.
Janet

Hi Ophelia,
It's a substitute for whipped cream and comes frozen in the dairy section of
the grocery store. The advantage of a frozen whipped topping is that it
does not weep and lose volume if the topping remains on the confection for
some time. Do you have something similar where you are?

Thank you Janet. I don't know if we do or not because it is not
something I have looked for. If I want cream I buy cream. Perhaps
someone else from UK will know!

I have to admit to loving CoolWhip - I mean, eat it by the spoonful LOVE
IT! lol Velveeta - yuck..although I have had a dip made with Velveeta
that was good...not like fancy dinner party good, more like Sunday
football tailgate party good. Take a block of Velveeta (sounds good
right there doesn't it?? Yum lol) and either a jar of Salsa or a can of
chili (no beans) Put them in the crockpot....That's it. Eventually the
stuff melts - you mix 'em together. It's pretty good on tortilla chips.

Here's what's in it (according to the Kraft Food website - they are the
makers of it)

Ingredients: WATER, CORN SYRUP, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND
PALM KERNEL OILS), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM
CASEINATE (FROM MILK), NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, XANTHAN AND GUAR
GUMS, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN MONOSTEARATE, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR).


I like it better NOT knowing what's in it lol

You're absolutely right, Janet. I just never thought of it that way. :-)
I love both the pie and the pudding.

I searched the internet ages ago trying to find out about it. We don't get
it here in Australia either. When a recipe asks for it, I use whipped cream
instead, I even found out the right quantities to use. We do have something
called "Dairy Whip" here. It's in a can and you spray it on. You probably
wouldn't want to know what's in it either, but I think it's yummy.

Yeah, I think that's the same as our dairy whip. It tastes good as long as
you don't know what's in it.

We have an assortment of spray can whipped toppings, most of which you
probably wouldn't want to know about. However, the first one ever to
marketed in the US back in the early 1950s is a product called Reddi-Wip
which is real cream under pressure with an inert gas. It's still on the
market.

Hey, you gotta think like an Iron Chef -- that's all they do -- take a known
recipe and tweak the daylights out of it.
