Imitation whipped cream. Ingredients:

water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, and less than 2% sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as a coloring

You buy it frozen, and let it defrost before serving.

I haven't had any in a very, very long time. I recall it had a somewhat
metallic flavor and a greasy mouthfeel. And it was sweet as hell.

John, have you been inhaling that funny stuff again?

Point 1. My 8 oz. cardboard container of "heavy whipping cream," from my local Anderson
Erickson Dairy, says the contents a "Grade A Cream." That is all that is in it.
What kind of whipping cream are you buying, anyway??

Point 2: my Butter Toffee Crunch recipe has water, not cream. What kind of recipe
are you using, anyway??

Some of it is real cream; some of it isn't. In any case, you can't
control the amount of sugar in it.

It might not necessarily be more expensive, due to economies of scale.
I haven't looked recently, but it seems to me that there are more
cans of whipped cream than cartons of heavy cream at the grocery store.
Or my memory could be faulty.

Are you saying they add sugar to the canned stuff??

Good grief, yes! This is America. They add sugar to everything.

You don't add sugar to whipped cream? Some people don't, but I think it's
far more common to add it.

It's true. I have only bought heavy cream a few times in my life. You
really have to hunt that down. And the canned stuff comes in different
flavors.

Every grocery store I have ever been to has heavy cream. The trick
is finding it not ultra-pasteurized or loaded with stabilizers.

And the canned stuff has way more sugar than I would add if I whipped
my own. It tastes like candy, not cream.

It's not very expensive, particularly if you buy it at Costco. I usually
pay perhaps $2 for a can, if that. One can lasts many months. It's far
cheaper per can at Costco and the cans are much larger but we can't use the
three cans (that's how it comes packaged there) in a year.

I have seen that. Is it like Cool whip? Have you seen flavoured cream or
sweetened cream?

Imitation whipped cream. Ingredients:

water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm oils), high
fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, and less than 2%
sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan
and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as
a coloring

You buy it frozen, and let it defrost before serving.

I haven't had any in a very, very long time. I recall it had a somewhat
metallic flavor and a greasy mouthfeel. And it was sweet as hell.
