Question about Coolwhip?

Question

I know that coolwhip can be used as frosting - but for a cake?

Do you have any tips to help keep the coolwhip "frosting" fresh without ruining the cake? Should any other ingredients be added to it the coolwhip?

Answer 1

You will have to keep it refridgerated, or it will go soft and run off. It looks nice and light and fluffy on cakes with fruit.

Answer 2

My mom always mixes the coolwhip with jello pudding mix and milk, then puts it in the fridge to set. Once you put it on the cake, you have to make sure that the cake goes back into the fridge so your frosting doesnt start to "melt" so to speak.

Here is a link to a recipe that looks like what my mom does:

Answer 4

Frreze it after icing then it will last longer when you serve it. Once it gets to room temperature it's gonna melt. It does make a great low fat frosting that is much lighter than buttercream frosting.

Nope just keep the cake in the fridge
