Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons non-fat powdered milk
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the non-fat powdered milk and cold water. Whisk or stir thoroughly until well-blended, then chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for best results.
While the milk mixture chills, place the gelatin in a small bowl and add boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and let it cool slightly (do not let it set).
Once the chilled milk mixture is ready, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to whip it at high speed for 3-5 minutes, or until soft peaks form.
Slowly drizzle in the dissolved gelatin while continuing to whip the mixture.
Gradually add the sugar (or sugar substitute), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whip for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and forms stiff peaks.
Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. It’s best served within 2 days.
