How Many Cups in a Container of Cool Whip?
Easily substitute whipped cream or any brand of whipped topping in place of Cool Whip using this handy chart to convert ounces (by weight) or millilitres/litres (by volume) to cups. And it works the other way round as well!
Printable chart at end of post.
In Canada Cool Whip comes in 500 ml and 1 litre tubs which are easy to substitute with cups but in the United States Cool Whip comes in 8/12/16 ounce tubs which are measured by weight and not volume. So when I have a US recipe I'm forever in a quandary about how to measure, even if I'm going to use Cool Whip. Not anymore! I've written it down for my own edification and yours too if you like. If substituting whipping cream, liquid whipped topping or dry whipped topping, whip according to package directions and then measure.

Thank you for helpful information. Trying a Community Cookbook's recipes and everyone seems to use Cool Whip which I do not wish to ingest.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could be of help.
DeleteThis is GREAT....I am a Canadian using a U.S. recipe so this was very helpful!
ReplyDeleteI do not want to ingest cool whip either. I haven't had it for at least 40 years.

DeleteThank you so much!! I was using a US recipe but I am in Canada and really struggled to try to figure out how much Cool Whip I needed to add when the recipe called for 8oz but I had a 1L tub! Have a great day!

Delete8 ounces would be 3 cups according to the chart.

ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for this chart! My husband doesn’t like the taste of Cool Whip so I am always needing to convert recipes to use whipped cream. I really appreciate you doing this!
