Cool Whip is a popular whipped topping first introduced in the U.S. in 1966. Known for its creamy texture and light, sweet flavor, it's commonly used as a dessert garnish or layered in parfaits, pies, and other treats. Unlike traditional whipped cream, Cool Whip is a processed alternative made primarily from water, vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, and skim milk, along with stabilizers and artificial flavorings. While it’s convenient and long-lasting compared to homemade whipped cream, it contains additives and lacks the simple, whole-food composition of its traditional counterpart. With roughly 20 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, it is low in fat but offers minimal nutritional value. Its high sugar and artificial ingredients mean it should be eaten in moderation, especially by those monitoring sugar intake. Cool Whip is a staple in American dessert culture but not necessarily a health-conscious choice.
