homemade cool whip
Don’t skip dissolving the cream of tartar in the plastic bag. Unless you want clumps of gelatin in your whipped cream, you have to dissolve it in the hot water over the stove, and then let it cool down before adding it to the whipping cream. Be sure not to over-mix during the whisking process. You shouldn’t try for stiff peaks– you’ll just end up with a curdled mess. Once the cream is thick enough to spread, stop whisking
