Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cold skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (or a sugar substitute like stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin powder and cold water. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to bloom the gelatin.
Once bloomed, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-12 seconds or until it dissolves completely. Let it cool slightly but not to the point of solidifying.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the cold skim milk. Using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, start beating the milk on medium speed until it begins to froth, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the milk while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high and whip for another 2-3 minutes.
While the mixer is running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the slightly warm dissolved gelatin mixture. The gelatin will help stabilize the whipped cream.
Turn the mixer back to high speed and whip for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture develops soft, fluffy peaks.
Transfer the whipped cream to a serving bowl or piping bag immediately, and use as desired. This whipped cream is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
