Oh can I get some of that pie and Cool Hwhip?
what did you say, Stewie?
Some cool hwhip
That’s hweird
Everyone knows you can’t have pie without cool hwhip
I’ve never been overseas myself, but this post sent me down a weird rabbit hole. Do I really understand correctly, that pre-made whipped cream is a thing over there? How does it even keep?
I visited a friend in Massachusetts a few years ago, and we made pumkin pie. Just because I was curious, I bought cool whip.
It’s not whipped cream, nor is it really similar to it. It’s essentially made similar to how you’d make mayonnaise, but instead of being savoury/sour it’s sweet. It’s also aerated so it’s not as dense. But yeah, it’s basically aerated dessert mayonnaise.
It’s cold, fluffy sugar.
Freeze it, thaw it, slap it on pie. When you have enough, freeze it for the next time.
Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm kernel oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream (less than 2%), sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, sodium polyphosphate, and beta carotene (as a colouring).
Thanks, it’s good with a reality check from time to time :)
It’s pretty good frozen too. Sort of like ice cream.
I don’t get it, how are Americans on TV so rail thin. Don’t the fat majority get upset by that?
Not all of us are obese, and the obesity epidemic has more to do with daily overconsumption of calories from things like soda and other sugared beverages than it does with eating cool whip on your pumpkin pie once a year
No, they worship it. It’s American Idol, not American Kinda Like.
I love cool whip. It’s magical! But I typically only have it two or three times a year in desserts when we have large family gatherings (every Thanksgiving and occasionally Christmas or Easter).
It’s basically fat sugar and stabilizers yumm
It doesn’t rot because it’s not real food
You’re not missing much. Even spray can whipped cream tastes like whipped cream, and as everyone says, coolwhip doesn’t.
It’s like shitty can frosting vs good fondant. You can just look and see you’re not getting the good stuff let alone with a tasting.
Cool whip is the margarine of the whipped cream world.
It’s similar, but not exactly comparable with whipped cream. It’s not abnormal to hear people offer pumpkin pie with whipped cream, cool whip, or ice cream
Ahh cewl hwip
everybody knows pie tastes better with cool hwip
Cool whips definitely not whipped cream. More like frosting.
The vast majority of people don’t even know what it is, just that Stewey Griffin pronounced it funny
Gross
Two servings please! 😋
That’s a funny looking trash can.
I never understood premade whipped cream. It takes two minutes to make. Cream, bowl, a little liqueur, tiny bit of salt, then go to town. Use a mixer if you need one, a hand beater isn’t expensive.
Some people don’t want to spend two minutes making whipped cream and then cleaning everything they got out to make it, or they just don’t have time.
It’s not hard to understand in the slightest.
“Why do people buy food you can easily make?”
That’s like most food products and restaurants.
Sure, but it’s only a bowl and a whisk. I just rinse them, too.
I guess everyone has things they find super easy and this is one of mine.
Many things can take 10 minutes or less to process.
However when you add in the time to gather, prep and buy ingredients and cleanup, it adds up exponentially.
I was counting that. Whiping cream is super fast once you know how, cleanup is easy. And buying heavy cream is something I would usually do anyway. Buying the prewhipped stuff takes no less effort than buying a carton.
It would definitely depend on your comfort level.
And if you’re already cooking a million other things. Not everything spawns from laziness.
Of course not, I’m not saying anyone’s lazy. I would encourage people to learn how to do it, though! It’s one of those things that is surprisingly easy and can save you some cash and fridge space.
You’re not always going to be cooking a million other things. Sometimes you’re just pulling cheesecake out of the freezer, and at that point a quick whipped cream batch is nbd.
