Here’s a simple and reliable method to make homemade whipped cream with gelatin as a stabilizer, perfect for piping, frosting cakes, or holding up well in warm weather or over time.
🍦 Stabilized Whipped Cream with Gelatin
🧂 Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
2 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
2 tbsp cold water
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Bloom the gelatin
In a small heatproof bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water.
Let it sit for 5 minutes — this allows the gelatin to bloom (absorb the water).
Step 2: Dissolve the gelatin
After blooming, gently heat the gelatin until fully dissolved:
Microwave for about 5–8 seconds, or
Place the bowl over a pan of hot water (double boiler method).
Let it cool slightly — it should be liquid but not hot, or it will melt the cream.
Step 3: Whip the cream
