About

Did someone ask for a spiced cloud? If the answer is yes, this whipped topping is all you need. It’s a welcome addition to any ice cream (cream on cream? yes!) and can also add a richness to fruity and floral sorbets. Plus, you can make it vegan by substituting coconut cream for the heavy cream.
