Anyone remember the Jello Whip N Chill?

[butch-innj]

I'm pretty sure it was from the 60's.
I finally got a recipe for a very light & fluffy cheesecake that has lady fingers around the edge of it and the recipe calls for using Jello Whip N'Chill.
I'm pretty sure its not made any longer and was just wondering if anyone knows of something that can be used as a substitute.
I barely remember it - seems to me that my Mom tried it a few times and we didn't like it.
If I remember correctly it had sort of a mousse texture to it.

Dr. Oetker

makes this product, I believe it is of Canadian manufacture. You can sometimes find it in oddball stores like King's or Whole Foods. It has to be made in a blender.

Regular or sugar-free Jello

can also be whipped successfully. I do this for another recipe. Make it the regular way, just add 3/4 cup cold water instead of a full cup, or substitute the same amount of juice that goes well with whatever flavor you're using. Chill for about 1-1/2 hours in a BIG bowl until it is almost set. Then beat it with that Mixmaster until it gets nice and foamy - it should about double in volume. Put back in fridge and it will set-up like mousse. You can use it to make parfaits or fold-in chopped strawberries, cherries, etc.

How about using Dream Whip. I use it for making a fabulous Dream Whip Dream Pie with chocolate pudding. The recipe is right on the back of the package.

I'm pretty sure that's

all that Whip and Chill was....Jell-O instant pudding with Dream Whip mixed in.

Didn't care for it much then, don't particularly care for it now.

Heres the recipe I want to make........

Pineapple Cheesecake

1 large bag of vanilla Jell-o Whip n Chill.
6 8 oz pkgs of Philly cream cheese
2 cans of crushed pineapple (drained)
2 pkgs of ladyfingers

Method:

Prepare whip n chill according to pkg directions and refridgerate over night.
Cream the sugar, cream cheese and half of the pineapple until smooth.
Fold into the whip n chill mixture.
Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit a large spring form pan and place on the bottom of the pan and then line the sides of the pan with ladyfingers.
Pour the mixture into the pan spreading evenly and spread the rest of the pineapple on the top.
Chill over night.

I've had this years ago at a restaurant here and the chef would NOT give out the recipe. I even offered to pay for it. Its THAT good. Very light & fluffy and about 3-4" high.
I got the recipe from a friend of a friend of a friend that knew the chef at the place I went.

Now I'm wondering what I can use to substitute for the whip n chill.

Jello vanilla instant pudding

and Dream Whip should work. Follow directions on the boxes, but use a little less milk together.

Don't agonize, just do it.

When you do the sugar and cream cheese part, be sure the cream cheese is at or near room temperature.

Anyone remember

Jello 1-2-3?

Lawrence/Maytagbear

Would you fold the dream whip into the vanilla pudding and let that set overnight and then use that instead of the whip n chill?

 

[maytagbear]

You could do that,

or just make the instant pudding and dream whip together in the same bowl with the same beaters.

Space Food Sticks

Man I was addicted to those things.

They tasted like a cross between a Tootsie Roll and a non-chewable vitamin pill. The peanut butter flavor masked some of the chemical taste.

The Dr. Oetker stuff is good-I get it at Cost Plus (World Market). I find all sorts of interesting things there. There was another brand sold in grocery stores I bought a few times in the last 10 years, but I haven't seen that since I've been in CA and don't remember the name.

I remember Whip n Chill well; yes it was very similar to a mousse. Unlike others here we enjoyed it as a dessert now and then. There was always Dream Whip (that's still around, right?) in the house too, at the ready if there was dessert to be topped.

I do remember Jello 1-2-3. I don't know how it did that, but it was pretty cool. I think they did bring it back for a short time, in maybe the 80s or early 90s.

Ah, Space Food Sticks. I recently learned "Tang" is apparently still available. Haven't seen that in a long time either.

Yes, your right....the Vermont Country Store does have it.
But, I'm not paying the price they want for it.

For a price.
