Whipped Topping

Craving desert with whip cream on top I decided to make up a batch of pudding. However, when I went to my freezer to get out the whip cream there was none there.  I remembered a recipe I tried awhile ago making whipped topping out of creamer. I also remember not being real impressed with the recipe and was going to see if I could find a better one. I happened to look at our box of nonfat dry milk which had a recipe for whipped topping. I decided to try it and found it to be an easy recipe that took about ten minutes to make.   I used vanilla flavouring which gave it a nice flavour and with the 2 tablespoons of sugar it was not as sweet as regular whip cream.  The recipe did not say how long it would be good for so I did a little experimentation with it. I put in the refrigerator to see how long it would last before liquefying which was not long. I recommend that if you use this recipe to use it right away.  Next time, I decide to make it I am going to try using different flavouring such as mint to see if that will work.
