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?
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
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.
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).
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).
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
I blocked “lemmy.world”, force quit, relaunched, verified lemmy.world was still blocked… and then found lemmy.world content on All regardless. Perhaps I misunderstand something.
