We made a version with frozen condensed lemonade. I've never had crack, but I imagine it's like that, the way it got scarfed down at the party we attended.

What is cool whip?

Aliantha · 05-07-2012, 06:08 PM

don't worry. I looked it up.

Gravdigr · 05-08-2012, 01:53 PM

Heheh...ok, so, whatcha call it downunda?

bbro · 05-08-2012, 02:30 PM

Gravdigr - looks pretty, but never been a fan of coolwhip - much to my mother's disappointment.

Sundae - I love cauliflower! I am kind of iffy about the mashed cauliflower thing, but I am gonna give it a try - half a recipe is good for experimenting.

Aliantha · 05-08-2012, 05:01 PM

I don't know Grav. If it's the same thing, I think it's called dairy whip, but it doesn't really last long. You have to spray it on just before you present food served with it or it kind of deflates after an hour or so. I don't usually use that sort of stuff much although occasionally the boys want it for hot chocolates in winter.

I've never seen Cool Whip in can form at the supermarket in my area before. Apparently, there is one because I found a picture of it while during an image search.

For the cauliflower, I added purple cauliflower to make it more fun. BUT, it was a huge flop. At first it was ok, but the more I ate it, the more it got gross. I tried more butter, more salt, mixing it with the corn, but nothing made it good. I was actually disappointed, too, even though it was what I expected. That first taste just raised my expectations so high. What a waste of perfectly good cauliflower

The chicken on the other hand, was GREAT. The only problem I had was that I was trying to do a half a recipe, but my chicken breasts were huge. I still used half the breading, but next time, I will use all of it. I may try to do some chicken finders instead of breasts. I only baked it for 20 minutes and it was perfect. I even took a bite and juice just squirted out! I would do without the sesame seeds, but that is just because I am not the biggest fan of them. I also had a problem with the chicken sticking, but I think that can be solved next time by putting some oil on the bottom of the chicken. I will try that next time. I actually already doubled the oil for the top.

I don't think you get an equivalent of cool whip in the UK, it may be the same in Aus -I had certainly never tasted anything that sickly-disgusting in my life before......

I wonder if Ali is thinking of squirty cream? Anchor makes it here.

Aliantha · 05-09-2012, 04:57 PM

The stuff we get here tastes more or less the same as cream because it mostly is cream which has simply been aerated. Must be different by the looks of things. I'm guessing cool whip is kind of like what we call 'mock cream' but Mum used to make that at home herself. It's really just whipped butter with icing sugar and a bit of water beaten in. Not much icing sugar though, because it's meant to taste like cream, not frosting.

Here it is www.coolwhip.com

Tonight at bible study we had for desert, jello they called it.
Jello Yankee style
1 large tub Cool Whip
1 pound small curd cottage cheese
1 14 ounce can manderan oranges
In large bowl mix together, chill and serve. YUM YUM!!!

glatt · 05-10-2012, 09:25 AM

Coolwhip is mostly water, oil, and corn syrup. It's not remotely healthy.

WATER, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND PALM KERNEL OILS), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CORN SYRUP, SKIM MILK, LIGHT CREAM, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM CASEINATE, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, XANTHAN AND GUAR GUMS, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN MONOSTEARATE, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR). CONTAINS: MILK.

It's pretty gross by itself, but used in recipes, it's surprisingly delicious.
