Whipped Cream
Real whipped cream is nothing short of heaven with its cloud-like appearance on any dessert. With the addition of gelatine, the whipped cream will remain firm and fresh for several days, allowing more time for you to spend with guests.
- 2 tsp unflavoured gelatine
- 1/3 cup boiled water
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- Add gelatin to a cup of boiling water. Let stand. You only do this step if you want to store the whipped cream for more than 2 hours.
- Pour whipping cream and vanilla into a chilled mixing bowl. To chill, run cold water over the bowl or put it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Be sure to dry the bowl before adding cream.
- Slowly add sugar to the cream while continuing to whip at high speed. Do not add all at once.
- Whip at high speed until soft peaks form. Pay attention– it can suddenly turn into a buttery mixture.
- Whip at high speed, slowly pouring warm gelatin mixture into the whipped cream. Do not add all at once. Stop as soon as blended.
Store whipped cream in a piping bag.
