Whipping cream substitute?

I needed whipping cream for a recipe, but I have coffee whitener and whipped topping in the spray can. :Frown:. Can I use either of them instead of the whipping cream?

Whipped topping in the spray can is whipping cream whipped up.

It just depends if you need it to be whipped or liquid.

It's over and done with. I was told that it's actually heavy cream whipped? In any case, it's done and it was delicious.

Thank you

Yeh heavy cream whipped, is the dairy version (much tastier-richer).

Yes, that's what real whipping cream is. Funny that we are so used to using the fake stuff that it doesn't even occur to us to think of the real thing.
