Ingredients
Stabilizing whipped cream with gelatin (Professional)
1tspUnflavored gelatin I use Knox flavorless gelatin
Prep the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the water and bloom. After blooming, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or until it has dissolved completely. Let it cool slightly, but not so much that it sets.
1 tsp Unflavored gelatin , 2 tbsp Water
Whip the Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and start whipping on medium speed. As it begins to thicken, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using).
12 oz Heavy whipping cream, 2 oz Powdered sugar , 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Add the Gelatin: While the cream is still whipping, slowly drizzle the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip at this point, or it will become lumpy and start to churn into butter.
Storage: Use immediately or store in the fridge. Gelatin-stabilized whipped cream should stay firm for 2-3 days.
