Ingredients
  

  • 1 t unflavored gelatin powder
  • 4 t cold water
  • 1 c heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 c powdered sugar
  • 1 t vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the gelatin and water; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed just until thickened, but not to a stiff peak.
  • Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 5 seconds until melted. Watch carefully, this is just enough to melt the gel/water mixture, not to heat it.
  • While beating on low, very slowly drizzle the melted gelatin mixture into the whipped cream. Once the gelatin is incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Use immediately for decorating, or chill until use. After storage, stir well before piping or frosting.
