Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Directions
Step 1
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to help achieve a stable and fluffy whipped cream.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to bloom (the gelatin will absorb the water and become thick).
Step 3
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 5 seconds, or just until the gelatin dissolves completely. Stir to ensure it's smooth and set it aside to cool slightly, but do not let it solidify.
Step 4
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken (soft peaks form).
Step 6
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour the cooled dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream while keeping the mixer running.
Step 7
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to turn grainy or form butter.
Step 8
Use the stabilized whipped cream immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently re-whip if needed before serving.
