I like to keep a bag of frozen unbaked biscuits in my freezer to have on hand whenever I need a quick and easy dessert. Although I frequently make my own whipped cream, there are times that’s not possible. Fortunately, many of the canned whipped creams in the market are very good substitutes, and they last a long time in the fridge.
