Timesaving Tip
Save time by using 1 container (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead of the 2 cups whip- ping cream, whipped. Beat 4 tablespoons whipped topping into powdered suigar mixture, then fold in remaining whipped topping as directed in step 4. Use reduced-fat whipped topping to reduce calories as well.
