# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Gelatin Base
01 -
3 oz (85 g) strawberry gelatin powder
02 -
3 tablespoons (24 g) powdered sugar
03 -
1/4 cup (59 ml) whole milk
04 -
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
→ Whipped Topping
05 -
2 tubs (8 oz / 227 g each) brand-name Cool Whip, fully thawed
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend strawberry gelatin powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk using a handheld or stand mixer at medium-high speed for 1.5 minutes until mixture thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
02 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the mixture develops a thick, glaze-like consistency.
03 -
Remove gelatin base from fridge and beat in one tub of fully thawed Cool Whip on medium speed until mostly smooth and pale pink.
04 -
Add the second tub of Cool Whip and continue beating until fully combined and stiff peaks form, ensuring a stable, fluffy texture.
05 -
Use immediately for spreading or piping, or refrigerate for an additional hour for firmer hold. Store covered in the refrigerator if not used right away.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
For optimal texture, always use fully thawed brand-name Cool Whip and avoid generic whipped toppings that lack stability.
02 -
The topping holds shape well for hours at room temperature and keeps fresh refrigerated up to five days; freeze portions for longer storage.
03 -
Substitute milk with unsweetened coconut milk for a dairy-free option, noting texture may be less creamy.
