My boys and I all love a dollop of whipped cream in our hot chocolate, on old-fashioned pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie, white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, and more. It adds a creaminess we wouldn't otherwise get without it.

It also makes the best whipped cream ghosts for my ghost Halloween brownies. And it makes a mean butterbeer recipe.

And I love making this pineapple fluff frosting with whipped cream.

  1. I made the cheesecake for the first time and the Oreo cookie crust came out rock hard and the raspberry sauce was too tart. Suggestions???

    • Tym, you can add a bit of sugar to the sauce if you prefer. I prefer a more tart sauce because the cheesecake is very sweet. As for the crust, I’m not sure what else to suggest… Mine’s turned out great every time I’ve made this. You could try leaving the frosting in the cookies instead of scraping it off; that would likely add softness, but it will also add sweetness.
