Could I replace the cool whip in the recipe with fluff or freshly whipped cream? Just can’t stand the taste of it

I love the fluff frosting, and might switch it up with Andes Mints and mint extract.

That would be fantastic! I wanted to use Andy’s peppermint crunch bits, but have not been able to find them this year. The mint will be wonderful, enjoy!
