Do you prefer Cool Whip or Whipped Cream?

Hi Miami, Well I certainly didnt know the difference between the two other than that one was in a tub and the other was in a can. I like Cool Whip, its what I buy when I need that sort of topping. I mean the spray can is handy and all, but I think it costs too much. lol I can get a tub of Cool Whip for less than a dollar! *big grin* I dont really remember the difference in taste, but I imagine there is some. I guess the can might be thicker or something. I really dont know, just guessing. I think Cool Whip makes anything taste better! Hot chocolate, ice cream, pies, cakes. Except apple pie, I MUST have vanilla ice cream for that. Hehe Bay Lay Gray xx

I never buy it in a can because with three kids all sneaking a snort by the time I get it to put on my pies I get nothing but air and a few drops of oily fluids. I do like the cook whip and they don't seem to get into it so fast and it lasts longer in the house.

I've used both, but mostly like cool whip. It's easier and tastes good. I even like the cool whip light and mostly buy it now. I can just eat it with a spoon, so we don't keep it around that much! LOL. It is really good in hot chocolate also. Yumm.

It all depends on what Im having. I love pumpkin pie and have to have cool whip on it. Same with apple pie have to have cool whip. Now if Im having hot chocolate I have to have the ready whip spray kind. Now my kids would rather hav the spray whip. They love to sray it in there mouths too. So does my husband which is where they get it from. LOL. Like father like son!

But, they taste the same don't they? I like the cool whip because it is refrigerated!

It's most certainly Cool Whip for me. I like the taste better, and you can get a diet version of it. Oh nifty, I have some in my fridge, must go raid it now :)

Thats so funny because I started a discussion about whipped cream today.LOL Oh yes I can tell the difference between cool whip and whipped cream Im addicting to whipped cream. And I often spray it in my mouth!LOL You must try its great!

Don't get me wrong I like that in a can stuff but you can not beat cool whip especially on pumpkin pie. Sometimes I'll just eat it right out of the tub just when it has defrosted a bit, yummy.

I have to say Cool Whip. It's something I grew up using, and I have kept using it.

i prefer the cool whip

I prefer cool whip too...it actually has a better flavor to me then whipped cream!

Hi :) I prefer the tub of cool whip.Sometimes i do buy the cream and whip it myself but find its more sweeter and harder to digest because of the fat in the real cream,so i stick alot to the cool whip.I don't like the taste of the whipped cream in a can,tastes like space cream,something the astronauts would eat,haha,i think?! Peanutjar:)

There is a big difference between Cool Whip and Whip Cream! Cool Whip is WAY better!

WHIPPED CREAM, but it has to be the EXTRA CREAMY kind. It is the my all time favorite. I use it with anything and everything that is sweet and needs a little bit more of sweetening. I especially love it with my cheesecake. I love cheesecake so very much. Just the creaminess of it drives me wild and then add extra creamy whipped cream it's just irresistible. Whenever I go to the store to buy my whipped cream I always have to buy two of them and then I buy a New York Style Strawberry covered cheesecake by Sara Lee. It is absolutely to die for with that whipped cream. Give it a try. You just may have a new found love.

I will take either or. But I usually use Cool Whip. I remember when all there was was whipped cream in a can.

CoolWhip!Canned Whip Cream! Hey Miami, What's wrong with buying some real cream and whipping it up yourself?When it's holiday time you gotta step it up a little bit LOL. It doesn't matter if it's pumpkin, banana or chocolate I really prefer the real thing but as a back-up coolwhip is the next best choice in my humble opinion.

When I started to read this, I thought my daughter had written it! I forgot the cool whip, for the pumpkin pie she was going to make. I did have a can of whip cream on hand, but that was not going to work for her. She went out Thanksgiving morning on the quest of finding a store that was open and that had cool whip! And she found it.

For me, it's got to be organic whipped cream. I like the way it comes out of the can in big bunches of fluff, and then I can spread the stuff all over just the way I like it. I've tried Cool Whip style stuff in a tub before, but I've since gone back to whipped cream.

well, i think both are good - haha. whipped cream is good for things like cappuchinos/frappuchinos, ice cream, hot cocoa &the like while cool whip is definitely the best pumpkin pie topping! haha.

what's the difference?
