Thanksโฆ. Yes I saw that but my question really is an 8 oz container of cool whip is one cup I presumeโฆ so would you use 1.5 8 oz containers or actually measure out 1.5 cups of thawed cool whip which is obviously light and fluffy..
According to Kraft’s webpages, 8 oz of cool whip is about 3 cups.
Do you use a whole 8 oz container of cool whip?
Hi Julia! You will use 1.5 cups of cool whip.
