Cool Whip is a type of whipped topping or a whipped nondairy substitute that was first introduced by Bird’s Eye and later by Kraft Foods manufacturer. It is made from a combination of ingredients such as water, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil, sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavors, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, and beta carotene.
Although it is promoted as a non-dairy product, it does contain a milk derivative called casein. Cool Whip is often used as a topping for desserts or as an ingredient in various recipes.
