Whipped topping
Sweet, light, and airy, milder than fresh whipped cream.
Lens analyzedWhipped topping is a light, airy dessert topping made from whipped oil or cream substitutes and stabilizers, sold frozen in tubs and thawed before use. It holds its shape longer than fresh whipped cream once it's been thawed and served.
Where it comes from
Frozen whipped topping was developed in the mid-1900s as a no-whip, shelf-stable alternative to whipping cream fresh at home, and it became a fixture of North American potluck desserts.
Buying it
Check whether the tub is dairy-based or a non-dairy oil blend, since that affects both the flavor and who in the household can eat it.
Storing it
Keep it in the freezer until you're ready to use it, then thaw the tub in the fridge rather than at room temperature.
Keeps about 8 months in the freezer.
