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

[Miriam]

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.

[Rowan]

Right - it's like Dream Topping then!! I could do that one Miriam ....if I ever get time!!

[Monsy]

I haven't seen that for ages, it usually surfaces at Christmas!

I'll have to inverstigate.............

[Miriam]

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!
