WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
My grandma does not allow cool whip in her house and this is a simple recipe she has always used. Adjust the sugar and vanilla to taste, but the amounts listed are a good place to start. The imitation vanilla will make the topping taste a little bit more like cool whip if that is what you are going for.

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:

- 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.

Tips:
- Chill your ingredients. This will help the cream whip up faster and achieve a stiffer consistency.
- Use heavy cream. Half-and-half or milk will not whip up as well.
- Whip the cream gradually. Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream begins to thicken.
- Don't overwhip the cream. Overwhipped cream will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Add flavorings after the cream has been whipped. This will help prevent the cream from deflating.
- If you're making a layered dessert, chill the whipped cream between layers. This will help prevent the layers from mixing together.
- Use whipped cream immediately. Whipped cream will start to lose its volume and texture after a few hours.
Conclusion:
Whipped cream is a versatile ingredient that can be used to add richness, flavor, and texture to a variety of desserts. With a few simple tips, you can easily make delicious whipped cream at home. Whether you're topping a pie, filling a pastry bag, or simply enjoying it on its own, whipped cream is a surefire way to please everyone at your table.
