Is Cool Whip the same as Instant Whip or Angel Delight? Does anyone know?

I think so, Rowan...Cool Whip is pretend whipped cream in the freezer dept. here.....which we use instead of whipped cream.....very tasty...
and much lower in calories.

Here Bird's Eye puts it out in regular or reduced calorie...

Then right beside this is the store brand which is less expensive.

Knowing the UK love of sweets you simply MUST have it out year round!
