01 Step

Recipe View Prepare your mise en place: Gather all ingredients and equipment. (5 minutes)

Image Step 02
02 Step

Recipe View Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment (or beaters) in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This is crucial for achieving maximum volume. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, add the cold water. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water and let it soften for 5 minutes. (20 minutes)

03 Step

Recipe View Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave in short bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between, until completely dissolved (about 30-45 seconds total). Ensure the gelatin is fully melted but not boiling. Let it cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. The gelatin should be liquid and only slightly warm when added to the cream. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the chilled bowl and whisk from the freezer. Pour in the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Begin beating on medium speed until the mixture starts to thicken and soft lines from the whisk become visible (2-3 minutes).

05 Step

Recipe View With the mixer running on low speed, slowly drizzle the cooled (but still liquid) gelatin mixture into the cream. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want a smooth, stable consistency. (2-4 minutes)

06 Step

Recipe View Use the stabilized whipped cream immediately to top your favorite desserts or frost cakes. Its enhanced stability will keep your creations looking impeccable for hours.

Ensure your heavy cream is well-chilled. The colder, the better it will whip.
Do not add warm or hot gelatin to the cream as this will melt the fat and prevent proper whipping.
For best results, use immediately. While stabilized whipped cream holds well, it's always best when freshly made.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a complimentary extract like almond or lemon.
Gelatin Bloom: Blooming the gelatin is crucial. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water, which allows the granules to absorb the liquid and swell. This process ensures even hydration and prevents clumps.
