Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons very cold water
  • 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar (more or less, to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or other flavoring

Instructions

  1. Start with chilled mixing bowl and beaters.
  2. Put the unflavored gelatin in a microwave safe bowl or 1-cup measure. Add the 2 tablespoons of cold water and let stand for 5 minutes. Put the solidified gelatin in the microwave and microwave for about 4 to 5 seconds at a time until it becomes liquid.
  3. Beat the cream until slightly thickened. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar then the vanilla and continue beating until thick and almost to soft peaks.
  4. Add the liquid gelatin mixture and continue beating to stiff or near-stiff peaks.
  5. Refrigerate until serving time.

Notes

If you have extra whipped cream, freeze it! Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Spoon or pipe whipped cream onto the wax paper in serving-size portions. Freeze, then transfer to a plastic freezer bag or freezer container.
