Why make it at home versus buying the frozen stuff?

1. Better ingredients. Homemade only uses 3 ingredients, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Frozen cool whip has oils and all kinds of other ingredients.
2. Quick and easy to make in less than 10 minutes. If you buy frozen, you need to wait a few hours for it to thaw before using.
3. It just tastes better! This goes back to the ingredients. It’s light and fluffy and has that fresh cream flavor that you love!
