Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to chill.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 5-7 seconds until fully dissolved. Set it aside to cool slightly, but do not let it set.
Remove the mixing bowl and whisk from the freezer. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
Begin whipping the cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue whipping on medium-high speed.
Once the cream forms soft peaks, reduce the mixer speed to low, and slowly drizzle in the cooled gelatin mixture.
Increase the speed back to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the cream can turn grainy.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for later use.
