Can I use homemade whip cream, instead of Cool Whip?
I think that would work just fine as long as it is a similar consistency!
I just made this for the first time. It was FABULOUS!!!!!! Is it possible to freeze any leftovers? OK, there probably won’t be any leftovers, but still have to ask.
Since I might not come back to this site, would you send your reply to me via my email. Thanks in advance.
