Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin (optional, for stabilization)
- 1 tablespoon Cold water (for blooming gelatin, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to chill before starting. Cold tools are essential for making whipped cream.
Step 2
If using unflavored gelatin for stabilization, combine 1 teaspoon of gelatin with 1 tablespoon of cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 3
After blooming, heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 5-10 seconds or until it melts into a liquid. Let it cool slightly, but ensure it remains liquid while you proceed with the next steps.
Step 4
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Step 5
Start whipping the cream on medium speed using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Gradually increase the speed to high as the cream thickens.
Step 6
When the cream begins to form soft peaks, stop the mixer and add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. If you are adding melted gelatin, slowly drizzle it into the cream as you continue whipping.
Step 7
Continue whipping the cream on high speed until it forms stiff peaks. Watch carefully to avoid overwhipping, which can cause the cream to turn grainy or become butter.
Step 8
Once the whipped cream is ready, use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The addition of gelatin will help the whipped cream hold its shape longer for cakes or desserts.
