About this cool whip frosting recipe

I’ve been on the prowl trying to find a way to replicate the taste and texture of chantilly (I mean, even the word is a delight!) as a way to decorate my baked goods, and I’ve finally cracked the code. Why this dessert topping recipe works
This Cool Whip frosting for cake is:

Quick & Easy. This creamy dessert topping comes together in less than 5 minutes in just one bowl!
Made With Only 2 Ingredients. You can make this easy frosting recipe with just 2 simple ingredients – Cool Whip and Cream of Tartar.
Perfectly Stable (even in hot weather). Adding 1 basic ingredient – cream of tartar – provides sturdy structure and gives this frosting staying power. 
Still Lusciously Creamy! Unlike pudding mixes, adding cream of tartar doesn’t alter the flavor of cool whip. J...
