Bring on the cool whip recipes! Full fat stuff not this reduced fat stuff. People get off your high horses and stop telling everyone your opinions on everything! If you don't like the ingredients DON'T use them. But stop preaching at those of us who want all the artificial GOODNESS! Eat your beansprouts and let everyone else eat what they want to. By the way I made these with regular butter (YUM!) full fat cream cheese and good old regular cool whip. DELICIOUS! Will definitely make again!

No tirade Lisa, just pointing out what the poster didn't seem to KNOW!

I think it's a little naive of MS LISA to chastise those of us who would like to eat healthy. Get your head out of the sand. There are mountains of documentation that link ingredients such as trans fats to serious health problems, obesity and heart disease among them. Education and comments from concerned people can help others to change their eating habits, and this includes modifying recipes to make them truly more healthful.

I just found this recipe - I really don't care for blueberries - could I use cherry pie filling?

Please people, stop your tirades over the ingredients. You don't like the ingredients, move on. That being said, thanks for a great recipe!!

Re: cool whip - you can always make a healthy, although not "light," version using a little raw organic or turbinado sugar with organic cream.
Thanks for the yogurt and half & half substitution ideas. You can also use the cans of whipped topping. Check the ingredients, but most don't have partially hydrogenated oils in them. It seems like they stick partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup in almost everything these days!
Healthy? Really? Frozen whipped toppings have partially hydrogenated oils/TRANS FATS in them. Check your graham crackers ingredient list. The ones I looked at have partially hydrogenated oils/TRANS FATS in them. No matter what you call them, TRANS FATS are NOT healthy and are very hard for the body to get rid of.I wish people would pay attention and STOP calling things 'healthy' when they are NOT!

Why not use light cool whip if you don't like the content otherwise?
