Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Flavored gelatin powder (e.g., strawberry, lime, or your choice)
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin powder in the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, but do not let it fully set.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the whipped cream while continuing to mix.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using) to the mixture and increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Whip until the frosting is light, fluffy, and holds stiff peaks.
Use the Jello Whip Frosting immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. If not using immediately, refrigerate the frosting for up to 2 hours and re-whip briefly before using.
