In my (un)professional experience, the whipped cream you're seeing in street food videos is non dairy whipped topping! It's what grocery stores use for cakes with whipped frosting, as well. It has stabilizers to hold its shape, and has a very similar texture to Cool Whip after it's been whipped, though I think it tastes much better.

The custard is the color of strawberry jello pie. I used to make it for my grandmother and also a family friend because they were both diabetic any time they came to visit because you can make the pie in any flavor of jello and you can make it diabetic by using sugar free premade graham crackers crusts (Keebler makes one) sugar free jello, and sugar free cool whip. It’s super simple: 1 package jello (any flavor in regular or sugar free), 1/2 cup boiling water, 1/2 cup cold water, 1/2 cup ice (I used crushed), 1 premade graham cracker crust (regular or sugar free), 16 ounce tub of thawed cool whip (regular or zero sugar). Mix boiling water and jello until dissolved, add cold water and ice and mix until all ice is melted and jello begins to thicken, refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until cooled completely, don’t allow the jello to set. Once jello has cooled, fold in cool whip a little at a time until there is no more liquid jello mixture. Mound into premade crust, cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve. This can be made in advance or 4 hours before serving. I have made it in lemon, cherry, peach, strawberry, lime, grape, and berry blue, but any flavor of jello will work and all the flavors I have tried were yummy!

When I lived in Kenya, I would sometimes buy shelf-stable cream because fresh cream was not always available. It is better as an ingredient (in sauces or in the custard portion of this pie) than for whipping.

One thing we LOVE using red hots for is making candied applebutter! It makes a reddish pink cinnamon applebutter that is to die for. And my great aunt used to make "Christmas Candy Pickles" using red hots basically a bright red cucumber pickle that has a unique texture. A favorite with us kids back in the day

The look on your face when you took that first bite tells it all. Yuk Speaking of red hots. In the fall when we would go pick apples in the orchard.

The restaurant I used to work at in the Coeurd'Alene Resort used to to put red hots in there apples for pork chops. It was really good and made the apples bright red!

It actually makes a difference if the whipped cream is chilled, I always put it in the fridge a day before I intend to use it. Also, the one I am using doesn’t require added sugar, I think that softens it too.

Red Hots make me think of Christmas. My hometown does a little Christmas thing every year that we started going to because my choir sang there when I was a kid. They let you put red hots in your apple cider. My favorite place is always the little blacksmithing shed. They give out hand-crafted nails to people every year as sovoniers. I always have to get one. You get to watch them work and ask them questions and you can also buy some of the things they make. And it's nice and warm in there. We also always do the horse-drawn carriage ride, and we've had lots of fun on those.

I'm 79, and I had never heard them called Lentils, ever. I guess it's true, you learn something new every day..

For years, my family has used these candies to make a "Christmas Drink." Put half-gallon of apple juice in a pot. Add 0.5-1 cup of Red Hots, depending on your taste. Bring to a simmer slowly and simmer until candies are dissolved. Taste, and if your apple juice as really tart, add sugar to taste. Serve hot or some like it cold over ice. It is also a great drink when you are sick or have a sore throat.

Love all the effort you put into your videos of perfection. Those candies… my moms OBSESSED with them. Theyre addicting not gona lie.

This pie reminds me of the types of dishes we would see at our family pot lucks. There were always interesting sweet treats to eat. They seemed to always have cool whip/whip cream with a custard/pudding. I really miss those days. It has been many years since I thought of those dishes. Some were very good and some well not so good. Oh just to go back to those fun filled times with family and pot luck dinners.

Shelf stable cream is just normal cream made UHT (ultra-high temperature processed) so the "use by" date is extended and the refrigeration storage is not needed. It still needs to be chilled before whipping ☺️

My mom makes “Cinnamon Jello” every Christmas. She melts the cinnamon candies in cherry or strawberry jello (can’t remember which) and pours it over chopped walnuts, red apples and celery. It’s sooo yummy 🥰

Very interesting recipe! Looks delicious!

I'm not sure if others have mentioned it, but "lentil" is a candy industry term for little round candy. The infamous M&Ms are lentils. During Easter I love Mint Lentil candy. Dark chocolate mints covered in a pastel candy coating.

Cinnamon red hots (for my childhood) were used around Christmas as the buttons on gingerbread men and then again on gingerbread houses as decorations. Rarely did we use it on valentines day, my family didn't like them out side of gingerbread. I love them, and have a bag in my freezer.

Wow, looks pretty! FYI, you DON'T need to sift corn starch, it all dissolves , lumps & all in cold liquid when stirred

Red Hots are popular at Christmas too. We used these on Corn Flake Christmas Wreaths and on our Christmas Cookies.

I put red hots in my hot chocolate. About a tablespoon or so in the bottom of your mug before you add the hot chocolate. You can put a star light mint (the round white peppermints with red stripes) in the mug instead. The Lindt truffle balls make great hot chocolate too.

At first I had doubts but it looks very cute and appealing. And as you kept working on your slice I felt like I might like it. Certainly something new.

My grandmother used those candies when she canned crab apples making candied apples. I was shocked when she showed me. They were available all year long but were heart shaped for valentines day. That was 50 years ago

I would probably Iike this pie without the pasta and with apples instead of pears. My grandmother from North Central North Carolina always used cinnamon spiced red apple slices to garnish our plates, so I grew up loving those flavors together. My grandmother probably would've loved this pie. I remember loving red hot hearts and atomkc fireball candy as a child. When I was 5/6 years old, in the early 1960s, I was allowed to have a running (up to $2 a month) credit account at the gas station/country store across the road from our house, I'd buy Red Hot Atomic Fireballs and I'd put a big atomic fireball in a glass full of hot water and wait for it to dissolve so I could have what I thought was a yummy spicy drink. $2 a month doesn't sound like much money but at the time the rent on our 3 bedroom house was $50 a month and most candy was just a penny or 2, a big candy bar was 5 cents. A coke or pepsi was 10 cents in a bottle. The drugstore in town sold 7 cent fountain sodas and 10 cent chili dogs. You could get a squirt of cherry syrup and or chocolate in your 7 cent cola drink for free.

@@shannonwest7560 I thought that too until I saw the consistency after they were done. They looked thicker and softer, like a squishy candy. Talk about transforming pasta!

I could see the main elements of this morphed into a no bake cheesecake. When I was a kid my mom & grandma would make pickles with the "ripe" yellowed cucumbers from the garden - they were a sweet pickle made with red hots and were this crazy unnatural eye blinding red. We loved them!

At no point during this video did I expect what was going to go in next. This is amazing and terrifying
