Cool Whip is a stabilized whipped cream product manufactured by Kraft Heinz, consisting of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil, corn syrup, skim milk, light cream, and various stabilizers and emulsifiers. Unlike traditional whipped cream made by whipping heavy cream with air, Cool Whip is produced through a proprietary process that whips a mixture of oils and dairy ingredients to create a light, fluffy mousse-like texture. The product is shelf-stable when frozen and maintains its aerated structure through the inclusion of gelatin, sodium caseinate, and other stabilizing agents that prevent separation and collapse over extended storage periods.

The texture is distinctly smooth and uniform, lighter and less dense than freshly whipped cream, with a subtle vanilla flavor from added vanilla extract. Cool Whip maintains its consistency at room temperature longer than whipped cream and does not weep or deflate as readily, making it a practical commercial alternative for food service and home baking applications.

Cool Whip is widely used as a topping for desserts, pies, cakes, puddings, and frozen treats throughout North American cuisine. Its stability makes it suitable for advance preparation, piping decorations, and layering in assembled desserts. The product is commonly folded into dessert fillings, mousses, and cream-based batters where its aerated structure contributes volume and lightness. Cool Whip is also used as a base for frozen desserts, incorporated into whipped toppings for fruit compotes, and added to hot beverages such as coffee and hot chocolate for immediate consumption.
