Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 5–10 seconds or until fully melted and liquid, but not hot. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In the chilled mixing bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
