Cool Whip / Whipped Topping / Cream Substitute

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• optional 1/4 tsp vanilla

Recipe

• 1 whip the cream with a whisk or wooden fork in a sturdy bowl until peaks form.
• 2 beat in the powdered sugar tablespoon by tablespoon, until it has something of a real shape and consistency to it. voila, you're done! sprinkle with some cinnamon if topping a pumpkin pie.
• 3 i like giving it a light vanilla flavor-- a little goes a long way, 1/8-1/4 tsp is really all you need. for some ideas, 1/4 tsp lemon extract with some yellow food dye makes for a nice lemon cream topping, same with strawberry extract and red food coloring. almond extract with some crushed almonds on top? mmm!
