What Is Dream Whip? I Live In New York City - Is There A Sub
Baking By Overambitious Updated 24 Jun 2011 , 6:25pm by Overambitious
Hello -
I need a stable buttercream recipe and I heard about IndyDebs recipe that uses Dream Whip. I live in New York City and never saw this before. Does anyone know if it goes by a different name or is there a substitute?
Thanks,
Stacy
Indydebis Crisco-Based Buttercream Icing
Ingredients
1-1/3 cups Cricso
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk, depending on consistency needed
3 Tbsp powdered Dream Whip (*)
2-3 Tbsp clear vanilla, depending on your personal taste
2 lbs powdered sugar
(*) A powdered whipped topping mix made by Kraft Foods, usually found in the cake/sugar aisle in the grocery.
Instructions
Theres no wrong way to mix this. I usually mix all but the powdered sugar for a minute or two, then gradually add the sugar, but the only reason I did this was to avoid the sugar-splash factor. The longer the mixer runs, the smoother it gets. Sifting the powdered sugar before blending helps with smoothness but is not necessary.
It is available in NYC - like the poster above suggests, it is usually with the pudding and jello mixes - make sure to check the bottom shelf closest to the floor I find it down there a lot. I have definitely seen it at Morton Williams and Food Emporium but of course it can vary by store!
I know it can help to know what you are looking for - it is a blue & white box and it is made by Kraft:

This was posted earlier today. Apparently there is a sale on Amazon.com. Hope this helps you find some.

Hi, Dream whip is big here in Canada. Its a powder dessert topping mix that you add milk and vanilla too, making whip cream, with lots of ingredients that you can't pronounce..lol. great to have on hand if you don't have the fresh whipping cream. Good to know that I could use it as a stabilizer for buttercream if I don't have meringue powder. Thanks 
so is dream whip considered to be a mock cream? they definitely don't sell it here and would like to find a substitute but not know exactly what it is makes that difficult
pretty much, it's a powder that you mix with a few tablespoons of hot water and whip it up. some people just simply put the powder into their buttercream frosting and mix it in, it helps it to 'stablize' and will help it to crust over. i personally hate crusting buttercream, but hey, to each their own.
I want to thank all of you for responding to my inquiry. I just received the Dream Whip in the mail from Amazon. I'll try the recipe this weekend.
Regards
