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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin powder in the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the whipped cream while continuing to mix.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
