FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Yes, but stabilize it with a little cornstarch or gelatin to hold its shape.

What’s the best way to melt chocolate?

Microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, or use a double boiler.

Can I store these in the fridge instead of the freezer?

Freezer storage is best to keep the Cool Whip from softening too much.

How do I prevent the chocolate from clumping?

Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to melted chocolate for a smoother dip.
