substitute for whip n' chill?
 

I found a recipe in an older cookbook and it called for 2 pkg. Whip n' Chill. I never tasted WnC but do remember that it was in supermarkets back in the 60s or 70s. What can I substitute for the WnC?
Thanks for reading.

Try looking for Dr Oetker's mousse or San Sucre mousse mix. San Sucre is French for without sugar. It's sweetened with Splenda.

How about using the real thing? ..... whipped cream!

I don't know about Whip and Chill.... is it similiar to Dream Whip? Dream Whip is made by mixing the powder mix with milk and I think vanilla until it is like whip cream. It is still available in my area (Upstate SC). I have only one recipe that calls for it and rarely make that recipe. It calls for the Dream Whip to be mixed with cream cheese and layered with pie filling and graham cracker crumbs. My mom used to make when I was a child.....many many many years ago!
What recipe are you looking at?

I never heard of it.

I think you just gave your age away .... younger than many of us? :)

I LOVED Whip n' Chill when I was a kid!!! Sorry can't help. The mousse sounds closest. Whip n' Chill was not just whipped cream. It was definitely more of a mousse.

Cool whip would probably be a good substitute

i'm glad to see the answer. i remember that my mom kept the powder in the cupboard for special desserts

I am going to look for a mousse. From the recipe, I think that is what was meant. Thanks for the help.
