There are many different ways to make stabilize whipped cream. I like using gelatin to set the whipped cream. You won’t even know it’s stabilized other than it will stay firm up to 24 hours!  

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED….

  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Confectioners sugar 
  • Vanilla instant pudding mix
  • Vanilla extract 
  • Gelatin Powder….This is what makes this recipe a stabilized whipped cream. 

Make sure you Bloom the gelatin.

The process of sprinkling gelatin powder over cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes is known as “blooming.” Don’t skip this step or you could end up with lumps in your stabilized whipped cream.

Chill mixing bowl in freezer for 15 minutes prior to whipping and make sure your whipping cream is really cold!

This recipe will yield enough to replace an 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip, which is about 3 cups.

Be carefull because if you overwhip you will make butter.
