Stabilized whipped cream holds up longer on desserts because it doesn't separate. Gelatin stiffens the whipped cream and makes the texture seem fuller and slightly spongy. It's perfect for topping a sweet pie with rosettes or to frost a cake.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups cold water
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Gather the ingredients.
-
2
Chill mixing bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes before using. Place water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soften 5 minutes.
-
3
Heat gelatin mixture in the microwave until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 30 to 45 seconds, stirring after every 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes; gelatin must be liquid but not warm when added to cream.
-
4
Remove bowl and beaters from refrigerator and pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together just until beater marks begin to show distinctly.
-
5
Add gelatin mixture to cream, pouring in a steady stream while beating constantly. Beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

Fast and Easy Creamed Spinach
This somewhat healthy creamed spinach recipe is lighter than traditional creamed spinach. It is a little easier, a little quicker, and a little more contemporary. Have all your ingredients ready to go ahead of time. It's a classic steak side dish.
Cabbage Roll Soup
I made this cabbage roll soup after having a craving for cabbage rolls but no time to make them. This is a nourishing, hearty soup. So simple to make and the amount of cabbage can be adjusted to your liking. Serve piping hot with crusty bread or garlic toast.
My Kid's Favorite Zucchini Bread
This zucchini bread recipe is delicious and moist — it's a great way to use up all the zucchini your garden produces. Shred the zucchini first, and let it sit in a colander to drain while putting the other ingredients together. I use very large zucchini from my garden and cut out all the seeds. Use any leftover shredded zucchini to make fritters.
