Using gelatin in whipped cream helps it hold its shape when you need to prepare food earlier in the day.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatine
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Preparation:

In a small ramekin or ovenproof measuring cup, sprinkle gelatin over 1 tablespoon of cold water. Set the container into about 1 inch of hot water in a saucepan and let stand until gelatin dissolves. Remove from the hot water. Set aside for a minute to cool slightly. Whip the cream until almost stiff, then add the gelatin, salt, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar. Continue whipping until stiff. Cover and refrigerate. Beat with a spoon to blend just before serving. Makes about 2 cups of whipped cream.

"I needed a stiffer whipped cream to make a chocolate cake roll. This worked great. Can be flavored with almond or even peppermint for the holidays (this works better with a white cake..frost and sprinkle with crushed candy canes)!"
