Easy whipped cream stays fluffy for hours with a bit of gelatin—awesome for topping cakes, sweet stuff, or pies.
# Ingredients:
→ Stabilized Whipped Cream
01 -
3 g plain gelatin powder
02 -
20 ml chilled water
03 -
240 ml heavy cream, straight from the fridge
04 -
16 g confectioners' sugar
05 -
5 ml vanilla
# Steps:
01 -
Let plain gelatin sit on ice-cold water in a microwaveable bowl for five minutes to get it soft.
02 -
Zap the softened gelatin in the microwave for 5 seconds or just until melted. Don't let it get too hot and let it cool a bit but it shouldn't thicken.
03 -
Dump the cold cream, sugar, and vanilla into a big pre-chilled bowl. Start whipping on medium until the mixture makes soft, fluffy mounds.
04 -
Slowly drizzle the melted gelatin into the whipped cream while the mixer is running on low.
05 -
Kick the speed up to medium-high and mix until the cream holds firm peaks.
06 -
Pipe or spread the cream right away or stash it in a sealed container in the fridge for a day.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the gelatin is melted and cool, not hot, when you add it so you don't get weird lumps.
02 -
For super fluffy results, get every tool and the cream as cold as you can before you start.
03 -
Perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes, pies, trifles, or other desserts.
