Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to chill them thoroughly. This helps the cream whip faster and more evenly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. The mixture will thicken.
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 5–10 seconds or until fully melted and liquid, but not hot. Set aside to cool slightly.
In the chilled mixing bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Begin whipping the cream on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer. Once it starts to thicken slightly (soft peaks form), reduce the speed to low.
With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the cooled, melted gelatin into the cream in a steady stream. Make sure the gelatin is not too warm, as this could cause lumps.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to become grainy.
Use the whipped cream immediately to frost cakes or desserts, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
