How to Stabilize Whipped Cream
Tired of your whipped cream melting into a mess? These easy tricks will help you make stable, fluffy whipped cream that holds its shape for days—perfect for piping, topping, or making ahead.
Servings 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon powdered unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Add water to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Allow it to sit for about 2 minutes.
- Place the bowl of gelatin in the microwave and cook on high for 5-10 seconds. Remove and let cool while you beat the cream. It should be runny.
- With an electric mixer or hand held, beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until it just starts to thicken. Slowly drizzle the cooled gelatin mixture into the bowl with the mixer running and beat until stiff peaks form.
Notes
- Make sure the gelatin has cooled before adding to the whipped cream.
