What is the UK version of cool whip?

[Brawoe1]

I found a cake recipe and the filling is cool whip…. What is that the same as in the uk please??

Is it like dream topping?

The ingredients look amazing

Not sure… isn’t that stuff quite runny?

It's an abomination and not for for human consumption. But if you must I'd say dream topping would be about the closest.

Oh wow, had forgotten all about dream topping until I saw that!

Love how they are trying to outrank real cream with the phrase It stays firm after whipping unlike cream

Birds dream whip?

@Quizanory it’s for Baileys’s cheesecake cups…?!

Recipe says: Make Baileys filling: In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, melted chocolate, and Baileys until smooth. Gently fold in Cool Whip.

but I’m not sure what to substitute it for?

Would it be something like this?

(I do hope not, we used to get this at school and it wasn't very nice at all... but it did stay weirdly firm...)

I think I'd just use whipped double cream. It will be sweet enough even without the sweetened Cool Whip. (But you could always add some sugar while whipping the cream anyway, if you like.)
i think British double cream stays firmer than US stuff because the butterfat contents differ. Ours is higher, I think.

Seems a shame to add this to Baileys:-
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'd use lightly whipped double cream, sounds yum!

I'd use marscapone personally rather than whipping cream.

I'd definitely not use whatever cool whip is!

Seconded. It not anything you'd want to eat, and you're definitely NOT missing out.

@Georgyporky im not adding that to baileys though am I….

Thanks everyone I’ll use the double cream

I'm not sure but it did remind me of the big question about how much emphasis to put on the "h" of "whip"...Family Guy - All cool whip moments - YouTube

All that palm oil 💩

It really is disgusting, going with double cream is a good idea.

I’d use mascapone over cream I think. Thicker consistency.

I'd use cream cheese

Cool Whip. Vilest substance ever.

Whipped cream, or a 50:50 whipped cream:cream cheese

Cool whip is revolting, really artificial tasting... what with it being artificial cream, lol. Agree that dream topping is the best you'll get.

Melt a load of marshmallows with half a block of butter in the microwave - Cool Whip

I’d find a new recipe!
