Ten Uses for Cool Whip

Add a Dollop All Year Round

Who doesn't love Cool Whip? It not only tastes great, but because it's a non-dairy product it can be enjoyed by people who are lactose intolerant. While you may purchase Cool Whip for your Thanksgiving pies or to make that all important Red, White, and Blue
Cake on the 4th of July, there are several other times of the year you could be using this delicious product. In fact, here are ten great uses for Cool Whip.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #1: Easy Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, you can make chocolate mousse by using Cool Whip and instant chocolate pudding. Just prepare the pudding according to the pie filling instructions and once the pudding has set, fold in enough whipped topping to create a fluffy chocolate mousse.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #2: Easy Cherry Cream Pie

Take a graham cracker crust and fill half full with vanilla pie filling. Then add enough cherry pie filling to reach the top of the crust. Top with Cool Whip and you've got a delicious and easy dessert that took less than 5 minutes to make.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #3: Delicious Chocolate Parfaits

In tall glass layer pieces of brownies, chocolate pudding, toasted pecans, and Cool Whip, end with the whipped topping. You could also use chocolate cake or you could also add hot fudge sauce to the mix as well.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #4: Decadent Oreo Pie

Use a stand mixer to combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, then gently mix in some Cool Whip to lighten the texture. Place the mixture into an Oreo cookie crust, filling it half way full. Then add a layer of chocolate pudding and top with more whipped topping.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #5: Quick Frosting

If you want a truly quick frosting, use Cool Whip. Just be sure to keep the cake in the fridge or the "frosting" will melt.

Ten Uses for Cool Whip #6: Delicious Holiday Drink

One of my favorite ways to use Cool Whip around Christmas is to add a big dollop to eggnog along with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.

Delicious ideas! I like to eat it straight out of the freezer sometimes, like ice cream. Guilty pleasure. Or for what Pam suggests.:-)
