Improve Your Dessert

This blog is mostly about process improvement, but it is generally about everything improvement, and today it is about dessert improvement. Here it goes: throw out your Cool Whip right now! Wired magazine has a very informative article on what is actually in Cool Whip and guess what, cream is nowhere to be found. In fact the ingredients are pretty disgusting. Go ahead, Read it.

Now I understand using concoctions like this for the sake of convenience, but th
e truth is that making real whipped cream is so cheap and easy there is almost no reason not to. Here's how you do it :
  • Buy heavy whipping cream
  • put in mixing bowl with some sugar (and maybe a dash of vanilla)
  • whip with electric blender
  • Its done when it looks and feels like whipped cream.
if you are too lazy to do that, use Reddi Whip instead of Cool Whip. At least the first ingredient on the Reddi Whip can is actually cream.
