humm, I wonder if my County Crock will work in a whip cream recipe I found. Just butter, crisco, vanilla and milk. I will give it a try and let you all know.

I can almost guarantee that Country Crock will not work in that recipe. If by some chance the texture turns out OK, the taste will be WAY off.
