Whipped Cream Topping

My grandma does not allow cool whip in her house and this is a simple recipe she has always used. Adjust the sugar and vanilla to taste, but the amounts listed are a good place to start. The imitation vanilla will make the topping taste a little bit more like cool whip if that is what you are going for.
