  • To replace the whipped topping, just get yourself a pint of heavy whipping cream from the dairy section. When you get home, pour some in a bowl and using beaters, whip it until nice soft peaks form. If you over do it, just keep going and you'll have yourself some homemade butter ;) Not joking, cream whipped past a nice whipped cream topping turns into unsalted butter :)
