Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to help achieve a stable and fluffy whipped cream.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to bloom (the gelatin will absorb the water and become thick).
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 5 seconds, or just until the gelatin dissolves completely. Stir to ensure it's smooth and set it aside to cool slightly, but do not let it solidify.
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken (soft peaks form).
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour the cooled dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream while keeping the mixer running.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to turn grainy or form butter.
Use the stabilized whipped cream immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently re-whip if needed before serving.
