"First created by a chemist at General Mills in 1966, Cool Whip fast became a game-changer for home cooks. This stabilized, pre-sweetened whipped topping was designed to imitate whipped cream, while removing some of the traditional dairy product's downfalls. Unlike whipped cream, Cool Whip doesn't gradually lose its shape when dolloped onto pies or layered into cakes. And of course, you don't have to spend any time or effort whipping it, since it's already delightfully light and fluffy."
"This convenient product is also incredibly easy to store, coming in frozen form and requiring a simple thaw in the fridge before use. Cool Whip has long been a go-to for incorporating into a wide variety of desserts. It brings a moreish creamy texture and touch of sweetness that can make homemade treats feel wonderfully indulgent, all while speeding up the prep process."
"Fruity, creamy, and crunchy is a trio that just works, and this dessert nails every element. Here, layer one consists of buttery crushed pretzels, and baking this creates an irresistible toasty flavor. The Cool Whip is folded into sweetened cream cheese, forming a top-tier creamy filling. Finally, there's the strawberry Jell-O topping, which even includes chunks of thawed frozen strawberries for an ultra-fruity finish."
Cool Whip debuted in 1966 as a stabilized, pre-sweetened whipped topping created to imitate whipped cream while avoiding some dairy limitations. The topping retains shape when dolloped or layered, requires no whipping, and arrives frozen for simple refrigeration thawing before use. Cool Whip contributes a creamy texture and sweet note to a wide array of desserts and shortens preparation time. One popular application is Strawberry Pretzel Salad, featuring a baked buttery pretzel crust, a filling of sweetened cream cheese folded with Cool Whip, and a strawberry Jell-O topping studded with thawed frozen strawberry pieces.
