Could whipped cream be used instead of Cool Whip? I really prefer the taste of a good, lightly sweetened heavy whipping cream beaten to stiff peaks to the chemical flavor of Cool Whip.
Hey Michelle. Yes, you absolutely could use whipped cream instead.
Made this for my son on Father’s Day. His comment, I could eat this every day, delicious!
