COOL WHIP / WHIPPED TOPPING / CREAM SUBSTITUTE
Avoid icky hydrogenated oils: this is by no means a diet or lite food, but a purer alternative. This isn't really a recipe as much as a technique to make your own whipped topping for desserts that call for it, such as pies, dessert pizzas, etc. SERVING SIZE IS 1 TBSP

Steps:
- Whip the cream with a whisk or wooden fork in a sturdy bowl until peaks form.
- 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.
- 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!

LOW FAT TOPPING - MOCK WHIPPED CREAM SUBSTITUTE
I saw Rachael Ray make this on a recent episode of 30 minute meals and was curious. It DOES work! I'm not wild about the taste of evaporated milk but the vanilla and honey smooth it out. I'm going to try it again using Splenda in place of the honey.

Steps:
- Pour milk into a large metal or glass bowl.
- cover and freeze for 15 to 20 minutes or until the milk starts to form icy crystals along the sides. (This will NOT work unless the milk is VERY cold!).
- Remove bowl from freezer and, with a hand held beater, mix for 2 to 3 minutes on high.
- After reaching soft peaks, add vanilla and honey and continue to whip until stiff.
- Cook's note: I just put the milk in the metal bowl of my stand mixer & froze it. Then it was simple to whip it up.

- Mix water and dry milk and chill thoroughly.
- Whip to form peaks.
- Add lemon juice and continue whipping to form high peaks.
- Beat in sugar.
Tips:
- **Use heavy cream for the best results.** Heavy cream has a high fat content, which makes it ideal for whipping. If you use a lower-fat cream, it will not whip up as well. - **Chill the cream and the bowl before whipping.** This will help the cream whip up faster and more easily. - **Whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks.** This means that the peaks of the whipped cream will stand up straight when you hold the whisk or beater still.Conclusion:
Whipped cream is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. With these tips, you can easily make whipped cream at home. So next time you are looking for a special topping for your dessert, give whipped cream a try!
