Miracle whip for Hellmans Mayo? Making vegetable pizza and I really do not want to run to the store today, thanks!

I'm not a cook in any sense, all I can say is they have 2 different tastes. I think M. Whip is sweeter than mayo.Only way you'll know is to try it.

@catter70 I do have sour cream on hand and thought maybe do 1/2 sourcream and 1/2 Miracle whip.

@Mom2Dogs, can't hurt to try. Personally, I just buy mircowave pizza. Good luck and enjoy.

There are recipes that depend on the oil in real mayonnaise to serve a function. Miracle Whip is starch-based and doesn't have the oil. I never heard of putting mayo on pizza so I have no idea if it will affect the final result. You'll have to decide.

@Mom2Dogs Never heard of using mayo in pizza. I personally hate Miracle Whip!

You probably could but it would certainly not have the same flavor.

@Kachina624 ...Vegetable pizza is a cold appetizer made with crescent rolls (dough is unrolled and pinched at the seams and baked to form the crust)...the mayonaise is spread on the baked crust and fresh veggies are added to the top....chill, cut and serve. .

There is also philly cream cheese and ranch dressing (dry packet) added to the mayo.

Put some lemon juice or vinegar in the Miracle Whip and you should be fine!

Use a creamy salad dressing or vinagerette instead

@Mom2Dogs. Since it's not part of the cooking process, I'd think The Miracle Whip would be fine. I prefer it over mayo.

It should be a good substitution, but the flavor of the pizza will be different. I would try it.

I have used MW anywhere mayo is listed (baked or not) and have never had a problem.

I never buy mayo...grew up on MW!

@RespectLife ...same here I rarely buy Helmans...Miracle Whip is what my mom always used, thanks for the advice.

I seem to be the lone voice of dissent here. I wouldn't make that substitution. They are two different products, not simply two different versions or brands of the same product.

@bluetail fly Well I agree with you. As soon as I taste Miracle Whip I put the food aside. I can tell the difference right away and I don’t like it.

I grew up in a house where Miracle Whip WAS mayonnaise!

But we never ate pizza, so I can't speak for that.

I love those Veggie Pizza appetizers but have always used mayo. However, I think you could substitute Miracle Whip....I use both for different things and like both. Try it and let us know.

Re: Can I substitute....

Mom2Dogs — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 20:49:20 GMT

@walker ...I used what I had, Miracle Whip..thought I had what I needed when I went to the grocery store...I think beause I always call miracle whip, mayo!

I tasted it, it seems OK....but will post back once I get reviews from the eating crowd!
