Cool Whip Recipes




  • Take a large container (16 oz) of thawed light or free cool whip and spread it in a 9×13 casserole dish.
  • Spread it out as evenly as possible, and then freeze for several hours.
  • Then you can cut it into squares for your graham cracker sandwiches. The first square is tricky to get out, but after that, using a pancake turner works well.
  • Make up your sandwiches and then store in a sealed container in the freezer. If you make 15 sandwiches with this amount of light cool whip they are around 120 calories each.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Mix a 16 oz container of light cool whip with one .3 oz box of sugar free jello (I used raspberry).
Freeze till firm and then use an ice cream scoop to dish it out, and then serve with berries.
