Ingredients for Black Forest Trifle: Others have said they make their own own Cool Whip by adding icing sugar (powdered sugar) to real whipped cream. Apparently, you can’t get Cool Whip in Australia, but one of my Aussie readers kindly sent me this recipe for homemade Cool Whip. Substitute for Cool WhipĬool whip is a processed whipped topping similar to whipped cream, but unlike whipped cream, it holds its form and won’t fall flat over time. Heath Bars and Dime Bars are fairly similar and can be used as a substitute for Skor in this recipe.
