WILTON STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a small pan, combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick.
• Place over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the gelatin dissolves.
• Remove from heat; cool (do not allow it to set).
• Whip the cream with the icing sugar, until slightly thick.
• While slowly beating, add the gelatin to whipping cream.
• Whip at high speed until stiff.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Soak plain gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Dissolve by placing it in a container over a small pot of simmering water.
• Allow to cool.
• Using an electric mixer, beat cream in a large well-chilled bowl.
• Just before it becomes soft and billowy, slowly add the sugar and flavorings to the whipped cream at the sides of the bowl, continuing to whip as you do.
• Whip the cream until barely stiff.
• Add melted and cooled gelatin all at once to cream during whipping.
• Stop whipping when cream forms soft peaks.
• Finish beating with whisk to adjust consistency.
• Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
• TIPS: For 1 cup of cream use 1/2 teaspoon gelatin soaked in 1 tablespoon cold water.
• For 2 cups of cream use 1 teaspoon gelatin soaked in 2 tablespoons cold water.
• For 6 cups of cream use 1 tablespoon soaked in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon cold water.
• Stabilized whipped cream can be flavored, but do it as soon as possible before the gelatin sets.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put the bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer about 10 to 15 minutes before beginning.
• Put the unflavored gelatin in a microwave-safe bowl or 1-cup measuring cup. Add the cold water and let stand for 5 minutes, until very thick. Put the thickened gelatin in the microwave. Microwave the gelatin until it dissolves and becomes liquid, about 7 to 10 seconds. Check after 5 seconds, then check it every few seconds until it is completely liquified but not hot. You can also use a double boiler to liquefy the gelatin mixture.
• Pour the cream into the cold mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until it begins to thicken, then beat in the confectioners' sugar . Add the vanilla or other flavoring and continue beating until thick but not quite to the soft peak stage.
• While still beating constantly, pour the liquid gelatin into the cream in a thin stream (if the gelatin has thickened again, heat again for a few seconds, just until liquid). Continue beating until soft or stiff peaks form, as desired. Serve the stabilized whipped cream or store for up to two to three days in an airtight container in the fridge.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM ICING

Steps:

• 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.
• Dissolve gelatin by microwaving for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. Remove from microwave and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; gelatin must be liquid but not warm when added to cream.
• Remove bowl and beaters from refrigerator and pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together just until beater marks begin to show distinctly.
• Add gelatin mixture to cream, pouring in a steady stream while beating constantly. Beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.
