Stabilized Whipped Cream with Gelatin

Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy whipping cream (33-35% fat; must be very cold)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (Adjust to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon Powdered gelatin (Unflavored)
• 1 tablespoon Cold water (For blooming gelatin)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Optional, for flavor)

Instructions

1. Chill Equipment

   Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps the cream whip up with better volume and stability.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: Freezer

2. Bloom Gelatin

   Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon powdered gelatin evenly over 1 tablespoon cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Let sit (bloom) for 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

3. Dissolve Gelatin

   After blooming, microwave the gelatin mixture for 5-10 seconds until just melted and liquid. Do not overheat. Let cool to room temperature (not hot) before adding to cream.

   Time: PT2M

4. Start Whipping Cream

   Pour 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Begin whipping on low speed for 1 minute to form small, stable bubbles.

   Time: PT1M

5. Add Sugar and Increase Speed

   With mixer running, gradually add 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Increase speed to medium and whip until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).

   Time: PT3M

6. Add Gelatin

   With mixer on medium, slowly drizzle in the cooled, melted gelatin mixture. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form (about 1-2 minutes).

   Time: PT2M

7. Add Vanilla and Finish Whipping

   Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) and whip for a few seconds more until fully incorporated. Stop immediately when stiff peaks form; do not overwhip.

   Time: PT1M

8. Fold and Serve or Store

   Gently fold the whipped cream with a rubber spatula to ensure even texture. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: 4°C

9. Cleanup

   Wash the mixing bowl, whisk, spatula, and any other utensils used. Wipe down counters and put away ingredients.
