Instructions

Strawberry Cool Whip:

  • Thaw the Cool Whip. In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the thawed Cool Whip until well combined.
  • Add the blueberry pie filling and vanilla extract. Gently fold until the blueberries are evenly distributed, creating swirls of color. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.

Pineapple Coconut Cool Whip (Tropical):

  • Ensure Cool Whip is thawed. Thoroughly drain the crushed pineapple by pressing it in a fine-mesh sieve or paper towels to remove excess liquid. This is crucial to prevent a watery Cool Whip.
  • In a bowl, gently fold together the thawed Cool Whip, well-drained crushed pineapple, cream of coconut, coconut extract (if using), and powdered sugar (if using).
  • Mix until all ingredients are just combined and the texture is uniform.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Orange Creamsicle Cool Whip:

  • Ensure Cool Whip is thawed.
  • In a bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, orange marmalade, and orange extract (if using).
  • Gently fold until the marmalade is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly colored.
  • If a more vibrant orange color is desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring and fold gently.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Blueberry Cheesecake Cool Whip:

  • Thaw the Cool Whip. In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the thawed Cool Whip until well combined.
  • Add the blueberry pie filling and vanilla extract. Gently fold until the blueberries are evenly distributed, creating swirls of color. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.

Chocolate Cool Whip:

  • Ensure your Cool Whip is fully thawed in the refrigerator.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold all the ingredients together with a spatula until no streaks of cocoa powder remain and the mixture is evenly chocolate-colored and smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the Cool Whip.
  • Chill for at least 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Mocha Cool Whip:

  • Thaw the Cool Whip. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder (or coffee granules) in the hot water. Let it cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and the cooled dissolved espresso/coffee.
  • Gently fold all ingredients together until evenly combined and no streaks of cocoa remain. Avoid overmixing.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.

Caramel Toffee Cool Whip:

  • Thaw the Cool Whip completely.
  • In a medium bowl, gently fold the thawed Cool Whip and caramel sauce together until well combined.
  • Stir in the toffee bits and sea salt (if using).
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Maple Cinnamon Cool Whip (Fall):

  • Ensure Cool Whip is fully thawed.
  • In a bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg (if using).
