can you make cool whip?

[JANE4girls]

I know this sounds crazy, but I swear I remember my mom making cool whip from scratch when I was a kid.

does anyone know how or what I need?

I am needing a whipped topping to make frozen pudding parfaits

[MrsPinecone]

I believe that Oetker makes a powdered mix for whipped topping. That may be what she used.

[brixtonrileightaylor]

there's also a mix called "dream whip"

[aimeebee]

Dream whip is also what we have used. You can usually find it in same aisle with the jello and pudding. HTH

There is something that comes in a small container like milk that you add powdered sugar to. Sorry the name eludes me at the moment.

LOL, I like the one you found better. I don't like to buy things for recipes that I don't normally keep as staples. Your find has less ingredients and is simpler.

[YouPdWhat]

I'm the same way, hate to buy if I don't have to.

This thread has now made me want to make parfaits tonight! Thanks Jane, LOL!!

You mean Heavy Whipping Cream?

I remember seeing on Infomercials where they use Very cold Skim milk?
And for some reason It has to be SKIM milk.
