I have read in old cookbooks that the following works. Canned Evaporated milk, chilled will whip just like whipping cream. I have never tried it though.
Here are archived discussions related to this page.
I was making a caramel sauce and needed 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and did not have any, so I substituted 6 tablespoons of whipped dessert topping and it worked fine.
What's a substitute for heavy cream, when making whipped cream?
