Fruit Dip With Cool Whip
Is Cool Whip The Same As Whipped Cream?
Cool Whip contains less fat than whipped cream but has more sugar. Cool Whip also comes frozen, while whipped cream is refrigerated.
As far as taste goes, whipped cream is lighter and fluffier, while Cool Whip is heftier on a spoon with a sweet cross-taste between sour cream and cream cheese.
Ingredients You’ll Need For Fruit Dip With Cool Whip:
- Cool Whip, 8 ounces (I used an imitation brand that tasted great!)
- Instant Pudding, 3.4 ounces (I used vanilla, but you can use any flavor, like chocolate or white chocolate)
What Should I Serve With This Fruit Dip Recipe?
- Strawberries (Highly Recommended!)
- Any Cut Fruit Or An Arranged Fruit Platter
Equipment Needed:
- Refrigerator
Can You Substitute Cool Whip For A Whipped Cream Topping?
NO. As mentioned above, Cool Whip is thicker and heftier than whipped cream, making it great for dipping. It also contains more sugar which is perfect for this fruit snack recipe!
How To Make Fruit Dip With Cool Whip, Step-By-Step
Step 1: Defrost the frozen Cool Whip by moving it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours or sit it on the counter at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Add the defrosted Cool Whip and instant pudding to a mixing or serving bowl.
Step 3: Mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Cover with plastic wrap and chill the topping in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Serving Tip: The fruit dip will taste delicious and a bit gritty at first, so it’s essential to allow time for the dip to chill in the refrigerator. This allows the pudding to dissolve into the Cool Whip, making it extra creamy!
