No need to use store bought whipped topping, you can make your own with a much shorter ingredient list. This is much healthier, completely fat free and does not contain any chemicals or hydrogenated products at all.

Comments
Good recipes, nice to have thanks. I buy a ton of fat free cool whip so hope this works!
Where are the directions?
Thanks for your comment, just updated the recipe, now it is completed. Enjoy!
P.S. to my review-I posted the photo so you could see the "airy" texture I mentioned.
We made this recipe last year, I thought the flavor was ok, and it didn't turn out as fluffy as store-bought, there wasn't enough air whipped in, and as the review described, once it sat for a while, it deflated, and you really had to whip it again.
I just made this hoping to get something close to whipped topping and I think something is off with the recipe. I followed it very carefully. It turned out very thick and gelatin like versus airy and light. I ended up adding much more skim milk and that definitely improved the texture. Either there is too much gelatin (1 teaspoon) or there's not enough milk (1/2 cup). I ended up adding 2/3 of a cup more milk. Also I don't know if the skim milk powder is needed but it added a chemical after taste to the whipped topping. I'm curious if this whipped topping would work without it?
